You choose on day one
The first time you open Snag, one screen asks where captures should go. Your Snag account is ticked, so Snag works straight away, and it says plainly where your captures are kept.
Tick Obsidian, Todoist, Notion, Reminders, Nextcloud or anything under More to send there too. Untick your Snag account if you'd rather use only your own tools. Change it any time in Settings.
One default, and Send to
Captures go to your Snag account until you pick something else. Connecting a service asks if you want it as the new default. It never switches by itself.
Free: your Snag account and one destination.
Pro: every destination connected at once. The Send to button sends a single capture somewhere other than the default.
No signal? Each destination waits and retries on its own, so one that's down doesn't hold up the rest.
All sixteen destinations
Connecting is a sign-in on the service's own page where it offers one, and a folder pick for Obsidian. Snag never sees your passwords. A few services start with a token you copy from that service's settings instead; Snag shows you where to find it.
Your Snag account

Email in- What lands where

- What it sees
- The service behind that address gets the capture as an email, and decides what happens to it.
A webhook- What lands where
- Each capture posted to a web address you choose. Zapier, Make, n8n or your own tools.
- How it connects
- Paste the address. Add a secret if you want one: Snag sends it in an
X-Snag-Secretheader, so your end can turn away anything without it. - What it sees
- Whoever runs that address gets the capture, and decides what happens to it.
For builders
Webhooks, workflows and your own stack
Capturing to a webhook is free. Commands, where a phrase runs your workflow and Snag says the answer back, are part of Pro.
- Webhooks
Any web address. Command calls are signed with Standard Webhooks once a signing secret is set, so your end can turn away anything that isn't from Snag. Capture webhooks carry an optional shared secret instead.
n8nPaste your Webhook node's URL or scan its QR code, copy the signing secret across, send a test, then name the phrase.
ZapierA Catch Hook. Zapier replies before the Zap runs, so Snag says "Sent." unless a later step calls back with something to say.
MakeA custom webhook at the start of your scenario, signed the same way.
ShortcutsRun one of your Shortcuts on the phone, with the slots filled in.
GitHubKeep commands in
.snag/commands.yamland link the repo with a short device code. Read only.
GitLabThe same file, on gitlab.com or your own server. Sign in once. Read only.
Your own models, your own backend. Under Settings, Advanced, point smart captures at your own OpenAI-compatible inference, call your agents and webhooks directly, or send captures to your own backend instead of the Snag account.
