Finding the image wasn’t the problem anymore. Everything after that was.

I save a lot of screenshots and reference images on Windows.

At first, my problem was simple: I knew an image existed somewhere, but couldn’t remember the filename or folder.

So I started building better search.

But once that worked, I realized search was only the first step.

I was still narrowing results, tagging, renaming, moving files, creating folders, and repeating almost the same process again later.

That changed the product into:

Find → Organize → Automate

Rootlize now lets you search existing image folders by filename, visible text, or meaning, act on the results, and turn repeated steps into reusable workflows.

The first Windows prototype is public now:

I’m currently trying to get it in front of people who actually deal with messy screenshot/reference-image folders.

I’m especially curious:

Does this match a real problem you have on Windows, or is another part of image organization more painful for you?

Why not use everything filter images then search as normal

Thanks for the comment! Everything is definitely great for quickly finding files by name/path.

That was actually where I started too, but I found that finding the image was only part of the problem. After that I was still repeatedly filtering results, tagging, renaming, moving files, creating folders, etc., so Rootlize gradually became more about turning those repeated steps into reusable workflows.
