Always-ready capture
Your moments are already being captured while you create, so your "unrecorded" highlights can still be recovered.
SnagBack. The moment you forgot to capture.
A new lazy way to work.
Intuitive and instant workflow.
SnagBack continuously captures Screen/Video, Audio, and MIDI in the background. If something great happened before you hit Record (a clutch play, a perfect take, a funny moment, a bug worth documenting), just bring it back. Think of it like a rolling time loop: once your selected buffer length is reached, older material is overwritten automatically, so your drive stays clean while your best moments stay recoverable.
Start with a fully functional 14-day demo, then upgrade later.

Made for real moments, not admin work.
Great moments do not wait for setup. SnagBack stays out of your way in the menubar, keeps a rolling background history, and lets you recover the exact moment you almost lost, whether you were producing music, streaming, gaming, or just working on your Mac. SnagBack is MUSIC PRODUCTION SOFTWARE and a creator utility that streamers will love: a must-have tool for Twitch streamers when something happens fast and you want it back.
Screen/Video capture
Capture what happened on your screen for highlights, tutorials, proof, and those "you had to be there" moments.
Audio + MIDI (or each solo)
Run exactly the capture mode you need per session: just audio, just MIDI, or both together for full recall.
Low-effort by design
SnagBack lives quietly in the macOS menu bar, so you can stay in flow without heavyweight setup.
Adjustable tape length
Set how far back SnagBack remembers. Keep short windows for speed, or longer windows for sessions with experimentation.
Drag and drop to export
Export is instant: drag from the menubar into your DAW or editor timeline, or drop a file anywhere you need.
Routing-friendly setup
Plays well with virtual MIDI ports and audio routing tools like Loopback or the free BlackHole drivers.
How SnagBack works
Designed to be "lazy" in the best sense: keep going, let SnagBack remember, and only commit the moments that matter.
Capture in the background
SnagBack runs in the menu bar and continuously captures Screen/Video, Audio, and MIDI while you do your thing.
Maintain rolling memory
It behaves like a surveillance tape loop and constantly overwrites older material outside your chosen memory range.
Recover and export instantly
When something worth keeping happened, bring it back from the recent buffer and export it instantly from the menubar.
- Perfect for music sessions, streaming highlights, and fast idea sketching.
- Built for creators who create first and organize second.
- Low-friction workflow: keep going, then export only the moments you actually want to keep.
- Great companion for streamers: snag back the clip you did not capture in time.
- An app every streamer should have: a rolling buffer for the last minutes.
- Ideal when "I forgot to press record" keeps happening.

Frequently asked questions
Does SnagBack replace my recording or streaming workflow?
No. It complements it by protecting moments that happened before you started a formal recording pass or hit the clip button.
Can I control how far back it records?
Yes. You can freely set the recent time span used by the rolling overwrite buffer.
What does it capture?
SnagBack can capture Screen/Video, Audio, and MIDI in the background, depending on your selected mode.
Can I drag exports directly into my DAW or editor?
Yes. Drag recovered Audio/MIDI (and Screen/Video clips) right from the menubar into your DAW or editor timeline, or drop the file anywhere you need.
Does it work with routing tools?
Yes. It integrates especially well with virtual MIDI ports and audio routers such as Loopback or free BlackHole drivers.
Why does SnagBack connect to the internet?
SnagBack uses internet access for update checks and for license authorization. After purchase, entering your purchase email in the app triggers backend validation with the licensing server so your demo can unlock to the full version.
Which operating system is supported?
SnagBack is currently available only for macOS. Minimum system requirement is macOS 13 Ventura or newer.
Is anything uploaded to cloud servers?
No. SnagBack works locally on your Mac. Captured Screen/Video, Audio, and MIDI stay on your computer and are not uploaded anywhere.
