Tell HN: Screenshots on macOS don't have to be date named files with spaces

You can create a Shortcuts automation on macOS 27 that fires when a new image is saved to the Screenshots folder that uses Apple Intelligence to view the image and rename the file accordingly (eg: "finder-window.png").

1. Create a new shortcut with Images as the input.

2. Then "Use On-Device model" action with a prompt like:

---

  You are an expert digital archivist.

  Analyze this screenshot and generate a filename for long-term storage and retrieval.

  The filename should:
  - clearly identify what the screenshot is about
  - include product, application, website, or system names when visible
  - include the key task, configuration, event, or issue shown
  - be useful to someone searching for this image years later
  - avoid filler words
  - do not include the time in the filename

  Formatting:
  - lowercase
  - hyphen-separated
  - 30-80 characters
  - no extension

  Return only the filename and nothing else.

  Here is the screenshot: {Item}

---

3. Then, add a "Renamed {item} to {response}" action.

4. Then, save this shortcut and add it as an automation with the "When items are changed in folder" action.

I had to look up some of the random words:

basifacial: relating to the lower half of the face

decidua: a specialized lining

dehull: to remove the husk from a seed

knopweed: a flowering weed.

erlking: a malevolent supernatural spirit

walloping: a severe beating/defeat

so this works as a vocab words of the day thing too
