Inspirational screenshots
I bet every web designer has a folder called "Inspiration" in his or her browser's Favorites. This is a must-have thing which helps to keep your mind fresh and open to new ideas. But handling its content is a real pain. Just try to remember why you added the 34th URL to it 3 months ago... yes, it's difficult.
Having the same troubles I've found the better approach: I keep screenshots of that inspirational pages instead of their URLs.
Having HandySnap the task is very easy. First of all create a folder for your inspirational screenshots, for example c:/Inspiration. After that change HandySnap's settings as shown on the pictures below.
Now to make a screenshot of a site and save it you just need to press the "Print Screen" button and select an area on your screen to capture from. Screenshot will be taken, named and saved automatically.
And the last thing: I'd suggest you to turn autonaming and autosaving options off when the work is done.
