About Snagto

Snagto is a Windows capture tool for things worth keeping. Select text, a link, an image, a screenshot or a code snippet in a browser, editor or document, press a keyboard shortcut and it is saved without switching apps. Quick notes can be written in Markdown, and links can be saved with the context you want to remember.

Captures are organized into collections, and fuzzy search finds items from partial words, fragments or rough queries. Everything stays on your device and works offline: the site says there is no account, no tracking and no telemetry, and captures are not sent to a server for analysis or sync. It positions itself between browser tabs and full note-taking apps.
