SnapNest is a lightweight, local-first Chrome extension that lets you store screenshots in your browser and copy them to your clipboard with one click.
- Drag & drop screenshots into the extension
- Local storage using IndexedDB (no cloud, no tracking)
- One-click copy to clipboard
- Clean, cute inbox-style UI
Browsers restrict dragging images from extensions into websites.
SnapNest solves this by using the Clipboard API, allowing fast paste into tools like ChatGPT, Docs, and Slack.
