I kept missing the drag window on macOS's built-in screenshot thumbnail. It fades out in ~5 seconds and if you're not fast enough, you have to go find the file on your Desktop.

EasyShot watches your screenshot folder and shows a floating thumbnail that stays until you drag it into whatever app you need — Slack, Figma, email, wherever.

It's a single Swift file, no dependencies, ~200 lines. Notarized DMG or build from source in one command. Took about 30 minutes to build because the problem was driving me insane.
