One Week Later
Almost a week has flown by since we previewed our new product LittleSnapper at Apple Expo in Paris: and what a week it's been! The reaction to LittleSnapper has been incredible, with our preview receiving plenty of coverage from the Mac press: Ars Technica and The Unofficial Apple Weblog [TUAW] were just two sites to cover our announcement.
Whilst out in Paris we also showed a few members of the media an early build of LittleSnapper. Christopher Phin [Deputy Editor, MacFormat UK] briefly mentions the demo in a re-cap of the Expo for TechRadar:
We also caught up with the boys from Realmac Software in Brighton to see their new project, a screenshot-taking and -cataloguing application called Little Snapper; it shows that company's commitment to polished, beautifully-executed applications.
As well as speaking with MacFormat, iCreate France and Vous et Votre Mac, we also caught up with MacGeneration who were eager to hear about LittleSnapper and the localisation of RapidWeaver [more on that soon!]. If you're fluent in French, be sure to take a look at MacGeneration's article which also features a photo of Dan, Ben and myself!
We'll be releasing more details on LittleSnapper later this year: but in the mean time be sure to sign up for our LittleSnapper VIP list. If you want to get your hands on LittleSnapper before it's available for public download and receive an early adopters' discount, you'll need to be on that list!
Read MoreSay Hello to LittleSnapper
Today is a very special day for all of us here at Realmac, as we're finally able to talk publicly about the little 'something' that we're previewing at Apple Expo Paris: our all-new application LittleSnapper.
What is LittleSnapper?
LittleSnapper is a tool to help users take, organize and annotate screenshots.
LittleSnapper takes screenshots of your desktop, full webpages and specific page elements (just like Safari's WebClip feature). Each snap is then added to LittleSnapper's Library, where you can organize them by date, star-ratings, comments or tags.
We've built-in some rather lovely (but very powerful) annotation tools, perfect for giving feedback on designs or scribbling over your snaps. Sharing your screenshots will be super easy, but we’re not quite ready to share all the details just yet!
Who is LittleSnapper aimed at?
LittleSnapper is aimed at designers, developers, user interface gurus or anyone wishing to organise a library of screenshots. For example, you might be a web designer tracking the latest trends or simply looking to keep a portfolio of your work. If you’re a UI designer you could be looking to build a library of inspirational interfaces for future reference. You could even use LittleSnapper to quickly scribble on your snaps and provide feedback to clients and users. However we like to think uses for LittleSnapper are endless and can't wait to have it ready for release.
When can I get my hands on it?
At the moment LittleSnapper is still in development. However, we hope to start beta testing shortly and plan to have version 1.0 out later this year. Until then, check out the LittleSnapper homepage where you can sign up for our VIP list. Over the next couple of months we'll be sharing a few more tidbits about LittleSnapper to those who signup, you'll also receive an early adopters discount and be able to download LittleSnapper 48 hours before everyone else!
We're incredibly excited about LittleSnapper here at Realmac HQ, and can't wait to share more with you shortly. Stay tuned!

Bonjour tout le monde! It's just one week until Apple Expo Paris - Europe's largest Apple-related trade show. Whilst we're not having a booth of our own this year (as we have in previous years), all of the team from Realmac HQ will be paying the show a flying visit on the 17th & 18th September to preview a small, yet exciting new product.
We're looking forward to sharing more news on this all-new application very soon - particularly as it's aimed at a slightly different market than we've previously developed for. If you're a member of the press covering the show, and wish to meet up for a demo, simply drop us a note and we'll be in touch!
Be sure to keep an eye out for the Realmac team who will be wandering the show floor with some all-new Realmac schwag, so be sure to snap some up! We'll be posting more information on the announcement here on the company blog after the Expo, so stay tuned!
