Question 1

What is Auto-Snapper AI?

Accepted Answer

Auto-Snapper AI is a desktop study companion for macOS and Windows. You pick a window from your own study materials (a PDF, slides, a practice-question set, a web page) and it automatically captures a snapshot every few seconds, sends it to the AI of your choice, and shows you a clear explanation. You learn without ever switching tabs to ask a chatbot.

Question 2

Is this for cheating on exams?

Accepted Answer

No. Auto-Snapper AI is a study aid for learning your own materials and preparing for exams. It is not for use during live, timed, graded, or proctored exams, and our Acceptable Use Policy prohibits that. Use it to study, not to cheat.

Question 3

Can it help me prepare for a certification?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's the core use case. Load your study guides and practice material, pick a persona, and use it to drill concepts and practice questions while you prepare. It ships with exam-prep personas for tracks like Salesforce and SAP, plus a generic tutor for anything else.

Question 4

Which AI models are supported?

Accepted Answer

You bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key and choose the model that fits your budget and quality needs, from fast, cheap models for quick review to frontier reasoning models for hard material. You can switch models anytime.

Question 5

Do you see my screen or my data?

Accepted Answer

No. The app talks only to your chosen AI provider. We run no server in the middle. Your API keys live in your operating system's secure keychain (macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Manager), and your captures and history stay on your machine. One button clears all local history.

Question 6

Do I need a separate AI subscription?

Accepted Answer

You bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key and pay your provider directly at cost. There's no per-question markup. This keeps your spending transparent and gives you full model choice.

Question 7

What platforms are supported?

Accepted Answer

Auto-Snapper AI runs natively on macOS and Windows. On macOS you grant Screen Recording permission once during setup; on Windows there's no extra permission step.

Question 8

How does licensing work?

Accepted Answer

Your purchase delivers a license key by email that activates the app and works fully offline for your subscription term, with no account login required to study. When the term ends, pasting a renewal key gets you going again in seconds.

Question 9

Is this a subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Auto-Snapper AI is a subscription. You keep full access for as long as your subscription is active, and the exact billing terms are shown at the secure checkout. You can cancel anytime to stop future renewals.

Question 10

How do I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Go to the Manage Subscription page at /account (the link is also in your license email), enter your license key, and click "Manage or cancel subscription" to open Stripe's secure billing portal, where you can cancel in a couple of clicks. Cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You keep access until then, and amounts already paid are not refunded. Prefer email? Contact support and we'll cancel it for you.

Question 11

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Subscription fees are non-refundable and all sales are final. If a refund is granted in exceptional circumstances, a 20% processing fee is deducted from the amount returned. You can cancel anytime to stop future renewals. Cancellation stops further billing but does not refund amounts already paid. See our Refund Policy for details.

Question 12

How does checkout work?

Accepted Answer

Checkout is handled securely by Stripe, our merchant of record. We never collect or store payment details on this site. You complete your order on Stripe's secure checkout, and your license key is delivered by email.

Question 13

Is there an app that automatically screenshots my screen and sends it to GPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is exactly what Auto-Snapper AI does. You pick one window from your own materials (a PDF, slides, a practice-question set, a web page, or a remote RDP, Citrix, or VM session), and the app captures just that window and sends each snapshot to GPT (OpenAI) or Claude (Anthropic) using your own API key. It is a study aid for learning your own materials, so use it to prepare beforehand, never during a live, timed, or proctored exam.

Question 14

How do I automatically send screenshots to ChatGPT or Claude on a timer?

Accepted Answer

Add your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key (it is stored in your OS secure keychain), pick the single window you want to read, then hit "Start Continuous" to capture and send a snapshot on a timer that defaults to every 30 seconds and is fully configurable. A stability gate waits for the screen to settle before each read, and a global stop hotkey halts capture from any app. You pay your AI provider directly at cost with no per-question markup, and a one-shot "Capture Now" sends a single screenshot when you prefer.

Question 15

Can AI automatically explain what is on my screen as I study?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Auto-Snapper AI reads the window you chose and returns a confidence-rated answer (high, medium, or low) that shows its reasoning, so you can see what is on screen explained in plain terms while you learn your own materials. Point a persona at a folder of your own notes or guides (.md, .txt, .json, .xml) as Reference Context and the AI treats them as authoritative on every capture. It is built for studying smarter beforehand, not for use during a live, graded, or monitored assessment.
