OK so there are a few use cases here. (1) Finding something in a sea of timestamps. (2) Storing not to Desktop (which always gets cluttered). (3) Searchability when you want something.

It seems like you have a hyper-focused solution to 1-2-3 which only allows you to solve screenshots. What about other use cases? Could you not make this more general? (1) Auto-rename files matching a certain pattern when they are created in certain directories using a filter (eg. current OCR/image analysis approach). (2) Allow also moving, based on a similar inotify (or similar) API. (3) Make the OCR output an existing search platform (eg. Mac search) pluggable module.

All of these would be possible to achieve cross-platform.

While I'm sympathetic to your generalised (1)–(3), "why not solve this more general problem before solving the specific one?" is usually a great way not solve anything because you're worried you haven't solved the perfect thing. It's almost always easier to make a working solution more general than it is to create a working but specific solution in the first place.

Yes. However, in the context of sharing something in this sort of community, one would assume breadth of application is a reasonable scope for discussion.
