These 2 Apps Help Me Manage My 100K Screenshots

I take a many screenshots. Like, a lot more. I’m not sure if I should blame my ADHD, my FOMO, or pure sensitivity, but as it stands, I have over 100,000 screenshots on my iPhone. (For context, a quick informal survey of my colleagues yielded numbers close to 2,000 on most of their phones.) I have a cold, and the only cure is to take another screenshot.

See something funny? Screenshot. Is there anything worth gossiping about? Screenshot. The conversation I want to remember forever? Screenshot. Swiping on a dating app? You already know. Forget the usual volume-up-power-button combination. I take screenshots so often that I stop the double-tap gesture to take them, too.

Ironically, the things I capture are usually in an app that already has a native way to save or edit them. I’ll capture memes on Instagram, for example, rather than keep them in a collection, because “I don’t want to forget where they are.” I’ll take a screenshot of what I’m browsing so I can “remember to look at it later”—something I fail to do 99 percent of the time. All of this means I remember they were “saved for later” on my phone in the first place, gathering digital dust.

Spring cleaning is great, and that should include your phone. I started the journey of trying to clear my digital space. Two apps have made a huge difference with no effort on my part.

Rodeo: Wrangling My Life One Screenshot at a time

I’m not a big fan when people say an app is “blank, empty,” but Rodeo is like the Pinterest of my life. I sat down with Sam Levy and Liz Friedland, two of Rodeo’s nine employees, to talk about this app that has dramatically changed my life for the better. (That’s not an exaggeration.) I was happy to learn that the Rodeo community feels the same way (“74 percent of users say Rodeo or extremely help or a lot help in making plans with friends and family,” according to the company).

Rodeo is still in private beta, but WIRED readers can download the app and use code 9156 to skip the waitlist.. (There is a code prompt after you enter your name, phone number, and location.) The app launched in November 2025, and I’ve been using it since mid-December and honestly love it. It was founded by two former Hinge executives, and it’s meant to help you extract content from a group chat … or an Instagram post … or a random flyer you snapped once … or an email from your long-lost college roommate. You can share a screenshot on Rodeo, or an Instagram link, or a TikTok link, or a photo. There are many different combinations. Rodeo uses AI to “scramble” and make sense of it all.

I always take pictures of show flyers, for example, and Rodeo “complicates” them by adding the date, a brief summary, a map of the area, links to buy tickets, and a primary source. You can sort and name new collections, and view them by date or on a map. Struggling with the dining plan? You can book in the app. Do you want to invite your friends? Lists can be shared, and you can send a calendar invite from the app. Sharing is a breeze, and you get a push notification when Rodeo is done doing its thing.

The main thing I like about Rodeo is that it collects everything in one place. For example, when I was planning a vacation with my best friend, I didn’t have to sift through Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, my notes app, and our texts to remember suggested activities. They were all inside the Rodeo. And when I was preparing to move to a new city, the same principle applied. No worries about missing an event or forgetting the name of a restaurant recommendation my bartender gave me one night. Everything is in one place.
