SnapPrompt
Download

Quick start

From download to your first answer.

Before you start

  • Windows 64-bit. SnapPrompt does not run on macOS or Linux.
  • A license key. The free trial lasts 3 days, and its key is sent to your email address. Get it on the download page.
  • Your own Claude account, through the Claude Code CLI signed in on your computer. Quick answers and the Claude Code destination need it. The Claude chat destination works without it.

1. Install

Download the installer from the download page and run it. SnapPrompt can start with Windows, which you can change in Settings.

2. Activate your key

Without a license the app stays locked and shows the license screen. Paste your key there. Full steps, including offline activation, are in Activate a license.

3. Connect Claude

SnapPrompt uses the sign-in that Claude Code already has on your computer and stores no passwords. In Settings, the Claude page shows the connection status, offers a one-click install of the Claude Code CLI if it is missing, and helps with signing in. The CLI is downloaded from the official build.

4. Take your first capture

  1. Press Ctrl Shift 1 (Capture and ask).
  2. Drag to select a region. Press Space to pick a window, or F for the full screen.
  3. Type a question, or tap a chip such as What is this? or Explain simply.
  4. Read the answer in the card beside the capture, then ask a follow-up if you want.

5. Try the other destinations

  • Ctrl Shift 2 (Full capture) opens the prompt on your default destination, Claude Code unless you change it, with folder and model choices. See Send to Claude Code.
  • While you type, Ctrl 1 , Ctrl 2 and Ctrl 3 switch between Quick answer, Claude Code and Claude chat.
  • Alt E opens the image editor, where you can redact before sending.
