I take a Lots of screenshots. Like an excessive amount. I’m not sure what to blame on ADHD, FOMO, or pure emotion, but right now, I have over 100,000 screenshots on my iPhone. (To illustrate, a quick informal poll of coworkers revealed numbers approaching 2,000 on most of their phones.) I have a fever, and the only treatment is to take another screenshot.
See something funny? Screenshot. Something worth gossiping about? Screenshot. A conversation I want to remember forever? Screenshot. Swiping on a dating app? You already know. Forget the familiar volume up and power button combination. I take screenshots so frequently that I set up a double-tap gesture to capture them as well.
Ironically, the things I screenshot are usually in an app that already has a native way to save or sort them. I’ll screenshot memes from Instagram, for example, instead of saving them to a collection, because “I don’t want to forget where they are.” I’ll take a screenshot of something I’m browsing so I can “remember to look for it later” — something I fail to do 99 percent of the time. All of this means that I remember it being “saved for later” on my phone in the first place, where it collects digital dust.
Spring cleaning is great, and it should include your phone. I embarked on a journey to try to remove my digital habitat. Two apps have made a huge difference without any effort on my part.
Rodeo: The Brawl of My Life one screenshot at a time
I’m not a big fan when people say that an app “looks like empty, empty”, but rodeo It’s like Pinterest for my life. I sat down with Sam Levy and Liz Friedland, two of them Nine employees at the rodeoto talk about this application that radically changed my life for the better. (This is not an exaggeration). I was happy to learn that the rodeo community feels the same way (74 percent of users say rodeos either To the fullest extent Useful or very Helpful for making plans with their 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’s 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 really love it. Founded by two former Hinge executives, it was meant to help you get plans out of a group chat… or an Instagram group… or a random post you screenshotted once… or the email from your long-lost college roommate. You can share a Rodeo screenshot, Instagram link, TikTok link, or photo. There are dozens of different integrations. Rodeo uses artificial intelligence to “argue” and make sense of everything.
For example, I always take a screenshot of show flyers, and the rodeo team “manipulates” them by adding a date, a brief synopsis, a map of the venue, links to purchase tickets, and primary source material. You can sort and name new collections and view them by date or on a map. Controversy over the restaurant plan? You can book your reservation in the app. Do you want to invite your friends? Lists can be collaborative, and you can send a calendar invite from the app. Participating is super easy, and you’ll receive a little notification when the Rodeo has finished doing its thing.
The main thing I like about Rodeo is that it brings everything into one place. For example, when I was planning a vacation with my best friend, I didn’t have to sift through Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, the Notes app, and our texts to remember suggested activities. They were all inside the rodeo. When I was preparing to move to a new city, the same principle applied. I don’t have to worry about missing an event or forgetting the name of a restaurant recommendation my waiter gave me one night. All in one place.
