launch
Canvas, text, shapes and drawing, Store and Pocket, photos, pages, PNG/PDF export. Built-in palettes, font sets, stickers, backgrounds, and templates.
We've launched! Snipbook is digital scrapbooking in your pocket: a clean canvas where photos, text, stickers, and backgrounds come together into a beautiful diary page in minutes. The app is local-first and installable: your data lives on your own device, and Snipbook can be installed as a PWA — as an icon on your phone or desktop — and it works without a constant internet connection. For a personal diary, this matters: your entries stay only with you, with no account and no third-party server.
Above all, we want a beautiful result without years of visual training or agonizing over choices. That's why the palettes, font sets, stickers, backgrounds, and templates are already chosen to work together. Whatever you put on the page, it will land in one coherent palette — because that palette was picked in advance.
Here's how it works through Pocket
All backgrounds, templates, and stickers live in the Store. Anything you like, you add to your Pocket — your personal collection, always within reach. From there, you drop elements onto the canvas in a single tap. The chain is simple: find it in the Store → save it to Pocket → drop it on the page. Try it right here — grab stickers and backgrounds from Pocket:

What Snipbook can already do
Canvas
A free-form page in a fixed size (1:1, 4:3, A4…). Scroll and pinch to zoom, place elements anywhere — just like a real collage.
Text
Text blocks like sticky notes: font, size, color, and wrapping by width. Move, rotate, and edit anytime.
Shapes and drawing
Rectangles, circles, lines and arrows, free-hand drawing with your finger — clean or sketchy.
Store and Pocket
A library of backgrounds, templates, and stickers. Save your favorites to Pocket — always within reach, one tap onto the canvas.
Photos
Upload from your device — the photo lands on the canvas and in "Your Photos," ready to reuse on other pages.
Export
A page as PNG or PDF, the whole diary as a multi-page PDF. Text and shapes stay vector and print-sharp.
Privacy and local-first
Your data stays on your device, no account or cloud required. Installs as a PWA — an icon on your phone or desktop — and works without a constant connection.
Plus a few nice details: autosave, undo/redo, element locking, and simple layering (forward/back).
The palettes, fonts, and templates we write about in the blog
The principles behind Snipbook — coordinated palettes, paired fonts, thoughtful templates — are covered in more depth in our blog on composition and color, including pairing fonts and building a layout.
