SnugshotA little clarity
Your screenshots stay yours.
Updated October 24, 2026
Inside the Mac app
Snugshot reads images from the folder you choose. It does not upload your screenshot library or send app usage analytics. Text recognition runs on your Mac. Recognized text is cached locally to make screenshot search faster; it is not sent to our server or an external recognition service. Cache entries are refreshed when files change and pruned when they leave the indexed library. Sharing happens only when you choose a destination. In the website edition, checking for updates contacts our server to retrieve release information and, when you choose to install, the app download. The Mac App Store edition receives its updates through Apple instead.
On this website
We keep aggregate daily page views, download starts, support link opens, approximate countries, referring website domains, campaign sources, and downloaded versions. We use these counts to understand and improve Snugshot. The analytics database does not store raw IP addresses, full referring URLs, browser fingerprints, or screenshot contents.
Your IP address is used transiently on our server to look up an approximate country in a local database. A keyed digest of the IP address, browser user agent, and release file expires after 30 minutes and is used only to prevent counting repeated download attempts. It is not used to follow you between sites. Country lookup does not send your IP address to an outside service. IP Geolocation by DB-IP.
We respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control by skipping these analytics. Common bots and download continuation requests are also excluded. Our hosting provider processes normal server access and security logs, which may include IP addresses. Aggregate statistics begin when this analytics system is deployed; earlier downloads are not retroactively counted.
Cookies and account access
The public pages do not set analytics cookies. The private owner dashboard uses a necessary session cookie for secure sign-in. There is no public account registration.
Optional support
On the website and in the website edition, “Support Snugshot” opens PayPal. Payments are optional and handled by PayPal under its own privacy terms. We count support link opens, not completed payments, and never receive your card or bank details through this website.
In the Mac App Store edition, optional one-time tips are processed by Apple through StoreKit. The app checks Apple-signed transaction information on your Mac to acknowledge and finish a tip. We do not send those transactions to our server or receive your payment-card details. All features remain available without a tip. Apple processes purchases under its own privacy terms and provides developers with App Store sales and proceeds reports.
