Install, discuss, and share apps.
One community.

Snaproot (snprt) is a developer app network: install tools from the terminal, then join project threads with stars, comments, and follows. No admin password needed for installs, and no manual registry workflow to publish.


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 Community Feed, 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 your forge CI
snprt login Pick GitHub, GitLab, or Codeberg login
snprt star owner/app Star an app
snprt comments owner/app Read app comments
snprt comment owner/app "text" Post a comment
snprt follow username Follow a developer
snprt logout Remove your stored login

Developer Social Layer

Each app is a public topic where developers can discuss releases, usage tips, and bugs.

1
Star apps you use Use snprt star owner/app to surface quality projects and show adoption.
2
Comment directly on app threads Use snprt comment owner/app \"message\" or open a discussion from the App Community page.
3
Follow developers Use snprt follow username and check profile stats with snprt profile username.

Publish your own app

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

1
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.
2
snprt push Snaproot reads your version, injects CI for your forge (GitHub, GitLab, or Forgejo/Codeberg), tags, and pushes. CI builds your binaries and notifies the registry automatically.

No manual API key request is needed for normal publishing. Run snprt login and authenticate with a supported provider.
