Snap brings Ubuntu's simple capture workflow to a native Windows app: open, select, capture.
Opening the app goes straight to a dimmed desktop with an adjustable selection and a compact capture bar. There is no landing page, mandatory editor, or save dialog.
Downloads
- Snap-Setup-0.1.0-x64.exe — recommended. A per-user setup wizard with Start menu shortcuts, an optional desktop shortcut, and an uninstaller.
- Snap-Windows-x64.zip — portable. Extract the whole ZIP and run
Snap/Snap.exe; keep the files together. - SHA256SUMS.txt — checksums for both downloads.
Both packages include the .NET runtime and install/run offline. Requires Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041) or later, or Windows 11, on an x64 PC.
Included
- Region, screen, and window screenshots, with move/resize handles and pointer inclusion.
- Automatic PNG saving to Pictures/Screenshots and clipboard copying.
- Silent H.264 MP4 recording of a selected region or screen, saved to Videos/Screencasts.
- Keyboard shortcuts and optional background/tray mode.
- Matching Windows app/installer icons, MIT license, source code, and build instructions.
Early-release notes
The app and installer are unsigned. Windows may show an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen reputation warning. Verify the download source and SHA-256 checksum before installation.
Window capture is best effort for applications that cannot render through Windows capture APIs. Protected content can be unavailable. Audio, window recording, editing, and annotations are not included. Mixed-DPI displays and cross-application clipboard/shortcut behavior need more manual testing.
Validation completed on the development Windows 11 workstation: 11 app self-tests and four installer smoke-test groups passed, including installed-app checks, background-mode update, and uninstall preservation of user-created files. A clean Windows 10 machine has not yet been tested.
Bug reports and focused contributions are welcome. See the repository README and CONTRIBUTING.md.
