What Snag is

Snag is a free iPhone app for identifying music, powered by Apple’s ShazamKit. It saves a short recording for every identification attempt, including attempts that produce no match. Retry Analysis checks saved audio at several points in the clip and may find tracks missed initially. Snag can record without an internet connection, but identifying a song requires a connection and can be done later. Its history keeps the date of each attempt, with optional location and personal notes. Users can replay recordings, try identification again, open matched songs in Apple Music or Spotify, and share identified songs through a link. History and recordings are stored on the iPhone and can sync through the user’s private iCloud account. For matching, the device sends an audio fingerprint directly to Apple’s Shazam Catalog; Snag says it does not access or store that fingerprint. The app has no Snag account, advertising trackers, or third-party product analytics. Its history currently has no search feature.
