One global hotkey to screenshot every connected iPhone

Cmd+Shift+7, from anywhere. That's the whole interaction.

TetherShot registers a global hotkey, so you don't have to hunt for the menu-bar icon or click into a window. Press it from any app and it captures every connected device at once, USB or Wi-Fi, full resolution, straight to your destination folder.

If you have two iPhones connected (say a personal and a test device), one keypress grabs both. Each capture is timestamped and, by default, copied to the clipboard so the most recent is ready to paste.

It runs as a background menu-bar agent with no Dock icon, so the hotkey is the primary surface. Native Swift 6 / SwiftUI on macOS 14+, open source under MIT.

Read the source, or just try it.
