assets, without leaving
your flow.

Features

Six tools you reach for ten times a day, collapsed into one click.

Every tab does one thing and gets out of the way. Keyboard-driven, copy-everything, no sign-in.
01

Instant Placeholders

⌘1
Instant Placeholders

Pick a source from custom sized placeholders, real photos, or generated avatars, set the size and format, then copy the URL or download the image directly to your computer.

Color Grabber

⌘2
Color Grabber

Launch the system eyedropper to grab any color from your screen. Keeps the last 5 samples as swatches, shows shades/tints, harmony colors, and copies as HEX, RGB, HSL, or SwiftUI.

Search over 200,000+ developer icons across Lucide, Heroicons, Tabler, Material Design, and more. Copy inline SVGs, base64 Data URIs, or download SVG files in seconds.

Glyphs

⌘5
Glyphs

A PopChar-style picker for special characters. Browse curated categories — arrows, math, punctuation, marks, box-drawing, currency, legal — or search by name/keyword. Click a glyph to copy it; the last 12 used stay in a persisted Recent row.

06

Text Tools

⌘6
Text Tools

Paste text and transform it in place — sort lines (A→Z, Z→A, by length), trim whitespace, remove blank lines, dedupe lines, or strip a set of characters — then copy. One-shot buttons, with a hint under each section.

Zero Distraction, Max Speed

A native utility that respects your screen real estate.

Other developer tools launch giant windows, require account sign-ins, and consume gigabytes of memory. AssetSnap is a lightweight macOS application that drops down from your menu bar and gets out of the way the split second you click away.

Sub-50ms Launch

Cold starts instantly. Zero splash screens, zero checking for updates on boot, zero waiting.

Only 3.6 MB

Built natively in Swift. A smaller binary footprint than a typical web page.

Fully Offline First

No active internet needed to search local icon libraries, generate text, or grab colors.

Zero Window Clutter

No Dock icon. Sits in your system menu bar next to WiFi, keeping your workspace clean.

Flow

Click the menu bar icon. Grab the thing. Get back to work.

01 / open

Pin to your menu bar

AssetSnap sits between your wifi and battery icons. Click it. No Dock icon, no window clutter.

Six tabs, zero ceremony

Placeholders, Color, Text, Icons, Glyphs, Text Tools. Each tab opens to the controls you used last. No resets, No onboarding modals.

03 / copy

Copy or download

URLs land on your clipboard instantly. Image and SVG downloads go to ~/Downloads and reveal in Finder.

FAQ's

Questions, briefly answered.

One price: a one-time $14.90 lifetime license, currently $6.99 as a launch price for the first 20 buyers. Pay once and own it forever - it unlocks all six tools in full, includes every future macOS update, and gets you the Windows/Linux builds free when they ship.
No. AssetSnap is a one-time purchase, not a subscription - there are no recurring charges, no renewals, and nothing to cancel. You pay once and own it forever, including every future macOS update and free Windows/Linux upgrades when they ship.
After checkout, Polar emails you a license key (format ASNAP-XXXX-XXXX-…). Open AssetSnap, click "I have a key" on the paywall, paste the key, and hit Activate. The app stores it locally and revalidates silently in the background, you never see a login screen again.
Yes, one license activates up to 2 Macs (e.g. a desktop and a laptop). If you switch machines later, you can free a slot from the Polar customer portal and activate the new Mac.
Color, Lorem Ipsum, and downloads work fully offline. The Placeholders and Icon Finder tabs hit their respective public APIs (placehold.co, picsum.photos, DiceBear, Iconify) when you copy a URL or download, that's the point of them.
Straight into ~/Downloads, then the app reveals the file in Finder so you can drag it where you need it. No intermediate save dialog.
No account, no telemetry, no analytics. The app makes outbound requests only to the asset APIs you explicitly ask it to, and only when you click Copy URL or Download.
Windows is actively in development; Linux is on the roadmap after that. There's no firm date, I'd rather ship them when they feel as good as the macOS build. Anyone who buys today gets both for free.
macOS 14 (Sonoma) and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (one universal build). The installed app is just 3.6 MB.
