Install any app.
One command.

Snaproot (snprt) is a small tool that installs apps on your computer from the terminal. No store. No sign-up. No admin password needed. You type one command — it downloads the app, checks it hasn't been tampered with, and puts it in your PATH.

Step 1 — Install Snaproot

Pick your operating system and paste the command into your terminal.

iwr -useb https://snprt.pages.dev/install.ps1 | iex

This downloads the snprt binary, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and adds it to your PATH. Takes about 5 seconds.

Step 2 — Install an app

Find an app in the App Directory, then run:

snprt install unfounder/a-z

Replace unfounder/a-z with any owner/appname from the directory. The app is verified before anything is written to your machine.

Step 3 — Run it

snprt run a-z

Or just type the app name directly in your terminal since it's already in your PATH.

All commands

snprt search <name> Find apps in the registry

snprt install owner/app Download, verify, and install an app

snprt run <app> Launch an installed app

snprt list See every app you've installed

snprt init Set up your own app for publishing

snprt push Build and publish your app via GitHub

snprt login <key> Authenticate with the registry

snprt logout Remove your stored login

Publish your own app

If you've built something and want to share it, you can list it on Snaproot in two commands.

snprt init Run this in your project folder. It asks you a few questions (app name, description, what permissions it needs) and creates a snprt.yml file.

snprt push Snaproot reads the version from your project, injects a GitHub Actions workflow, tags the release, and pushes. GitHub builds the binary for Windows and Linux — then notifies the registry automatically. Your app is live.

You need a Snaproot API key to publish. Request one by opening an issue on GitHub.
