One click. One link. Done. _
// the modern screenshot tool
Capture a region. Annotate it. Share a shortened link — in two seconds. macOS first, Windows and Linux coming soon.
Cmd + Shift + 2 → region → annotate → clipboard.
Like Jing, but modern.
Built for speed.
One shortcut
Press Cmd + Shift + 2, select a region, done. No app-switching, no dialogs.
Annotate first, share second
Arrows, boxes, text, highlight, blur. A built-in editor pops up before every upload.
Instant shareable links
Unguessable URL lands in your clipboard. Paste anywhere. Recipients see it instantly.
Bring your own storage
Default hosted. Pro users can self-host with Docker + S3, filesystem, or network shares.
Modular plugins
Snap is just the first plugin. The shell is a Tauri-based platform for more tools.
Built for privacy
Links are unguessable + noindex. Mark anything private with one click. Self-host for full control.
Five steps. Two seconds.
Press shortcut
Cmd + Shift + 2. A crosshair appears over your screen.
Select region
Drag to capture just what matters. No full-screen clutter.
Annotate
Add arrows, text, highlights, or blur sensitive parts.
Upload
Automatic upload to your storage backend.
Link in clipboard
Public URL ready to paste. One year retention on free tier.
Built for people who care.
Screenshots often contain sensitive information — code, chats, personal details. We treat them that way.
Made in Germany
Built and operated in Germany. Data stored in Hetzner's Nuremberg datacenter — GDPR by design, not by translation.
Unguessable URLs
Every screenshot gets a cryptographically random slug. Noindex headers keep them out of search engines. You choose when to share.
Zero analytics
No Google, no Facebook pixel, no Plausible, no Mixpanel. Your screenshots are none of their business.
Self-host if you want
Pro ships with a Docker image. Your data, your server, your rules. Same UX, full control.

Common questions.
01 Where are my screenshots stored? +
On our servers in a German datacenter (Hetzner, Nuremberg) — GDPR-compliant, encrypted at rest. Pro users can self-host with Docker and point storage at their own S3 bucket, filesystem, or network share.
02 Are my screenshot links really public? +
Each link uses an unguessable random slug (like screensnatch.com/s/8a7f2c9d). They're marked noindex so search engines ignore them. You can mark any screenshot as private with one click if you prefer authenticated access only.
03 What happens when I hit the free limit of 100 screenshots? +
The oldest screenshot is automatically rotated out to make room. All screenshots you keep stay for up to 1 year. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited storage and retention.
04 Is my data processed outside the EU? +
No. All infrastructure (storage, database, auth) runs in German datacenters. No third-party analytics, no CDN outside the EU, no trackers.
05 Do you read or analyze my screenshots? +
Never. Screensnatch is a pipe between your screen and a public URL. We don't OCR, we don't train models, we don't scan. Screenshots are binary blobs we store and serve.
06 Can I use Screensnatch offline? +
The capture step works offline. Upload needs a network connection. If you're offline, the app will queue the upload and retry when you're back online (coming soon).
07 Is Screensnatch open source? +
The Shell and the annotation editor are open source (MIT). The Backend is currently closed but the Pro self-hosting package ships with Docker images you can run anywhere.
08 I don't trust cloud uploads. Can I just self-host? +
Yes. Pro includes a Docker image of the backend. Point the app at your own server, done. No data ever leaves your network.
