"I'll screenshot memes from Instagram, for example, rather than saving them to a collection, because I 'don't want to forget where they are.' I'll screenshot something I'm browsing so I can 'remember to look it up later'—something I fail to do 99 percent of the time. This all implies that I remember that they're 'saved for later' on my phone in the first place, collecting digital dust."
"Rodeo is like Pinterest for my life. I sat down with Sam Levy and Liz Friedland, two of nine Rodeo employees, to talk about this app that has drastically changed my life for the better. I was happy to learn that Rodeo's community feels the same way ('74 percent of users say that Rodeo is either extremely helpful or very helpful in making plans with their friends and family,' according to the company)."
An individual with over 100,000 screenshots on their iPhone struggles with excessive screenshotting driven by ADHD, FOMO, or sentimentality. Despite apps having native save features, they screenshot content anyway, often forgetting about saved items. Screenshots accumulate unused in phone storage. To address this digital clutter, they tested two apps designed to organize screenshots. Rodeo emerged as particularly effective, functioning similarly to Pinterest for personal content. The app helps users save and organize screenshots while facilitating planning with friends and family. According to Rodeo's data, 74 percent of users find it extremely or very helpful for making plans. This approach to spring cleaning one's phone demonstrates how purpose-built apps can transform screenshot management from chaotic accumulation to organized, functional curation.
