What Snaparoo does

Snaparoo syncs your favorited Apple Photos to a Google Photos album, a Google Drive folder, or both. It runs as a lightweight menu bar app on your Mac.

Apple Photos access

Snaparoo requests read-only access to your Apple Photos library. It reads your favorites to know which photos to sync. It never modifies, deletes, or writes anything to your Apple Photos library.

Google Photos & Google Drive access

Snaparoo accesses Google Photos and Google Drive only to upload and remove your favorited photos to an app-created album and folder. It cannot access, read, modify, or delete any of your other Google Photos or Drive files.

Google permissions

Snaparoo asks for the bare minimum Google permissions it needs. Here's what you'll see during sign-in and why:

"Add to your Google Photos library" — So Snaparoo can upload your favorited photos to its album.
"View and manage Google Photos items created by this app" — So Snaparoo can see what's already in its album, and remove photos when you unfavorite them.
"See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app" — So Snaparoo can upload photos to its own Drive folder. It cannot see or access any of your other Drive files.

Data collection

Snaparoo does not collect, store, or transmit any user data to external servers. There are no analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. All sync happens directly between your Mac and Google's APIs.

Third parties

No data is shared with third parties. The only network communication is between your Mac and Google's official APIs to perform the sync you've configured.

Data protection

All communication between Snaparoo and Google's services uses HTTPS/TLS encryption. Snaparoo authenticates via OAuth 2.0 — it never sees or handles your Google password. Your OAuth token is stored in the macOS Keychain, the operating system's secure credential store. No photo data is cached or written to disk by Snaparoo — photos are read from Apple Photos and uploaded directly to Google over an encrypted connection. Only sync state metadata (such as upload status) is stored locally. Bacon Bear Productions does not operate any servers that receive or store your data (see Data retention & deletion below).

Revoking access

You can disconnect your Google account from Snaparoo at any time by signing out in the app. You can also revoke Snaparoo's access directly from your Google account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Data retention & deletion

Snaparoo does not store your Google data on any external server. All photos are uploaded directly from your Mac to Google's services. When you sign out or revoke access, Snaparoo's local authentication token is deleted and it can no longer access your Google account. Photos previously uploaded to Google Photos or Google Drive remain in your Google account — you can delete them at any time from Google.

Google API Services compliance

Snaparoo's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
