Quick capture
One tap, one gesture. You see an event on screen — Event Snap opens with it ready to save. No share sheet, no app switching.
iPhone
Install the Shortcut from this page, then bind it to whichever gesture you prefer.
1. Add the shortcut
Tap the button below on your iPhone. Shortcuts opens with an Add Shortcut sheet. iOS will warn that the shortcut isn’t verified — tap Add Anyway. Takes about three seconds.
iPhone only. Needs iOS 16 or newer.
2. Bind it to a gesture
Pick one. Control Center works on every iPhone; Back Tap on iPhone 8 and newer; Action Button on iPhone 15 Pro and newer.
Control Center — recommended
Long-press anywhere in Control Center → Add a Control → search “Shortcut” → pick the Event Snap shortcut you just added. Now a single tap inside Control Center fires the capture. Works on any iPhone running iOS 18 or newer.
Back Tap
Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap → Double Tap (or Triple Tap) → scroll to Shortcuts → pick Event Snap. Double-tap the back of the phone whenever you see something worth capturing.
Action Button
Settings → Action Button → swipe to Shortcut → pick Event Snap. iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro, and newer.
Android
Setup happens inside the app. Install Event Snap, tap ADD NEW SHORTCUT on the home screen, and follow the two-step onboarding. About thirty seconds.
Quick Settings tile — recommended
Tap the Event Snap tile in your pull-down Quick Settings panel. Silent screenshot, instant extraction. The in-app onboarding walks you through granting the Accessibility permission (used only at tile-tap, never to observe your screen) and adding the tile to the panel. Needs Android 11 or newer.
Or: volume + power → share
The always-available fallback. After taking a screenshot the normal way, tap Share on the toast and pick Event Snap. Three taps, no setup. Works on every Android version Event Snap runs on.
What happens under the hood
On both platforms the trigger takes a screenshot of whatever’s on screen, drops it into Event Snap, and runs the same extraction pipeline that powers manual captures. Claude pulls the event details out of the image; you land on the result screen ready to save.
