The TSA scramble problem
Every frequent flyer knows the moment. You're at the gate, the agent waves you forward, and you're frantically scrolling through 800 screenshots trying to find that one boarding pass you screenshotted "just in case the airline app crashes."
Same story at hotel check-in. You booked through Booking.com, then Expedia, then a friend forwarded you their referral link, and now you have three confirmation emails screenshotted across three months — and you can't remember which one is for tonight.
How Snaap surfaces the right doc at the right time
Snaap is designed around the way frequent travelers already behave. You keep screenshotting. Snaap does the organization.
Auto-detect boarding pass details
When you screenshot a boarding pass — from an airline app, email, or PDF — Snaap's on-device Vision model extracts:
- Airline + flight number
- Departure date and time
- Gate and seat
- PNR / confirmation code
- Origin and destination airports
Smart surfacing the morning of travel
Instead of you searching the camera roll at TSA, Snaap pushes your boarding pass to the top of the app the morning of departure. One tap, full screen, ready to scan. The image stays sharp and zoomable — important when gate agents need to scan a QR code under bright airport lights.
Hotel and reservation handling
Screenshotted a hotel confirmation? Snaap recognizes the check-in date and surfaces the confirmation the morning you arrive. Same for restaurant reservations from OpenTable, Resy, lounge bookings, and any time-bound travel screenshot.
What travel screenshots does Snaap handle?
- Airline boarding passes — Delta, United, American, Southwest, JetBlue, Alaska, BA, Lufthansa, Air France, ANA, Singapore Airlines, etc.
- Hotel confirmations — Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Hotels.com, direct chain confirmations
- Lounge access QR codes — Priority Pass, LoungeKey, individual airline lounges
- Concert tickets and event QRs — Ticketmaster, AXS, Dice, SeatGeek
- Restaurant reservations — OpenTable, Resy, Yelp Reservations
- Visa approvals and travel insurance cards
- Train and ferry tickets — Eurostar, Amtrak, Eurail screenshots
- Rideshare confirmations for airport pickups
Why on-device AI matters for travel
Travel screenshots are some of the most sensitive content on your phone:
- Passport scans and visa photos
- Date of birth (visible on boarding passes)
- Full name and PNR (can be used to access reservations)
- Hotel addresses (essentially "where I'll be tonight")
- Credit card last-4 on confirmations
Uploading that to a server is a non-starter for serious travelers. Snaap was architected around the opposite default: nothing leaves your iPhone. Apple's on-device AI frameworks (Vision, Core ML, NLEmbedding) make it fast enough that you don't notice — and private enough that you don't have to think about it.
Built for frequent flyers and digital nomads
If your iPhone camera roll is 60%+ screenshots, you're already using the workflow Snaap is designed for. The app doesn't ask you to change how you behave — it just surfaces the right document at the right time.
Snaap also handles the non-travel screenshots that live next to your boarding passes: expiring vouchers, concert tickets, gift cards, and your full screenshot library.
Frequently asked questions
How does Snaap detect boarding passes in my screenshots?
Snaap uses Apple's Vision framework for OCR plus a Core ML model trained on boarding pass layouts. It extracts airline name, flight number, gate, seat, departure time, and PNR directly from the image. Detection runs entirely on-device.
Does Snaap replace Apple Wallet for boarding passes?
No — Snaap complements it. Apple Wallet works great for pkpass files when airlines issue them. Snaap covers everything else: airline app screenshots, email confirmations, PDFs you screenshotted, alternate confirmations from booking partners. Most travelers screenshot their boarding pass as a backup anyway, and Snaap turns that habit into an organized system.
What if I have boarding passes for multiple flights?
Snaap groups screenshots by trip automatically when possible — same destination, overlapping dates, same airline. You can also create custom trip groupings in Snaap Pro.
Does Snaap work offline?
Yes. Because everything runs on-device, Snaap doesn't need an internet connection to scan, organize, or surface your boarding passes. Perfect for international travel where data roaming is unreliable.
Is Snaap free?
Yes. The core boarding pass and screenshot organization features are free with no account required. Snaap Pro ($2.99/month or $19.99/year) adds trip grouping, unlimited indexing, and custom categories.
