Snag Music Recognizer2026.14 - App Store

Snag is a music identification app that catches every song and saves the audio clip. Even when recognition fails or you are offline, you never lose a song.

Tap to record. Snag listens and tries to identify the music using Apple’s ShazamKit. Whether it succeeds, fails, or you have no signal, the recording stays on your device. You can replay it and retry identification later when you are back online.

Features:
. Tap-to-record music identification, powered by Apple’s ShazamKit
. Every attempt saves a short audio clip, even when no match is found
. Works offline. Capture now, identify later when back online.
. Replay any recording and retry identification at any time
. Optional location tagging to remember where you heard a song
. Notes on every snag, so you can add context later
. Full history of every snag, organized by date
. Listen on Apple Music when a song is identified
