How to Clean Up Old Screenshots Automatically on Mac
With Supercharge
- Open the settings of Supercharge, and click “Tweaks”.
- In the “Screenshots” section, find “Move screenshots added more than 30 days ago to (beta)”.
- Click “Choose…”, and choose a folder, like a new folder named “Old Screenshots”.
- To change the number of days, click the arrows next to “30 days”.
It uses the date when the screenshot came into the folder, not when it was taken. To keep a screenshot, give it the tag “Supercharge Ignore”. It moves the screenshots, and does not delete them, so delete the files in that folder when you no longer need them. To turn it off, clear the folder.
If you use another screenshot app, set the screenshot tool of macOS to save to the same folder, so Supercharge also moves those screenshots.
