You have all your screenshots saved automatically to a directory, but you often want to move the last few somewhere specific? Just grab them.
┌───=[ me :: x1 ]-( 0 )-[ ~/Downloads ]
└──( grab -2 web
moving /home/user/Downloads/screenshots/screenshot-2026年05月13日-18:53:16.png → ./web-1.png
moving /home/user/Downloads/screenshots/screenshot-2026年05月11日-10:39:17.png → ./web-2.png
grab is a tiny, portable Bash tool that:
- Finds the latest N screenshots
- Moves or copies them into your working directory (or a target directory)
- Optionally renames them (
name.png,name-1.png, ...) - Works on Bash 3+, Arch, Debian, macOS, Nix, BusyBox, etc.
- Has zero dependencies and is safe under
set -euo pipefail
Usage:
grab [options] [name]
Options:
-n, --dry-run Show what would be done without moving/copying
-c, --copy Copy instead of move
-q, --quiet Suppress non-error output
-s, --source <dir> Source directory (default: ~/Downloads/screenshots)
-p, --pattern <glob> Filename pattern (default: screenshot-*.png)
-t, --target <dir> Target directory (default: .)
-h, --help Show this help and exit
--version Show version and exit
Examples:
grab # move last screenshot into .
grab web # rename last screenshot to web.png
grab -3 web # rename last 3 screenshots to web-1.png, web-2.png...
grab -c -t ~/tmp # copy last screenshot into ~/tmp
Drop grab anywhere in your $PATH.
