Capture on Mobile. Search From the Browser You Write In.
Knowledge work doesn't happen on one device. SnapStash AI Premium pairs the mobile capture flow with a real web inbox at snapstash.app/inbox — search, copy, and paste your stash straight into the document you're writing.
Where You Save Is Almost Never Where You Use
Most knowledge workers split their day between at least two devices. The phone is where life intrudes — a paper you spot on the train, a tweet you want to come back to, a price tag in a store. The desktop is where work compounds — the Notion doc, the slide deck, the dissertation chapter. A second brain that lives on only one of those two devices is half a tool.
Premium syncs saved text and item metadata to your account so you can retrieve them from another signed-in device or the web inbox. Original images and PDFs appear on other devices only when server media storage is enabled and the files have finished uploading. Sync requires an internet connection.
The Premium-only web inbox at snapstash.app/inbox is built for the moment your second brain has to leave the SnapStash app. Open the browser tab next to your Notion doc, type a natural-language query, and copy the OCR-extracted text directly into your sentence. No exporting, no app switch, no friction. It is the bridge between mobile capture and desktop writing.
Free users keep all of the local mobile experience but stay single-device. Multi-device sync and the web inbox are part of Premium because they are what turn the second brain from a personal tool into a working environment.

How Anywhere Access Works
Capture on Mobile
Take a screenshot, share a link from Safari or Chrome, or import a PDF. The mobile app handles capture and triggers AI analysis in the background.
Sync Across Devices
Saved items, OCR text, summaries, and tags sync to the same Premium account. Original images and PDFs are a separate upload controlled by the server media storage setting.
Open the Web Inbox From Any Browser
On Premium, open snapstash.app/inbox on your laptop. Search naturally, preview captures, and copy OCR text straight into your Notion page, dissertation, or campaign brief.

It is the same second brain, accessed through a browser instead of the mobile app. Everything you saved on mobile is there. The web inbox is read- and search-optimized for the desktop workflow — fast keyboard search, big previews, copy-friendly OCR output.
Metadata sync (titles, tags, OCR text) typically lands within 2 to 5 seconds through Firestore's real-time listeners. Image bytes follow as a background upload — usually under 10 seconds on a healthy connection. You can search and chat against an item as soon as its metadata arrives.
Free users can sign in on additional devices to see their own account, but full sync and the web inbox are Premium features. The Free experience is intentionally optimized for a single primary device, with all AI organization and 30-day recall intact.
