SCREENSHOT

How to import a screenshot

Any due date shown on your screen — an online order page, a coupon, a subscription renewal date — can be captured from a screenshot.

Step 1: Take a screenshot

  • iPhone with a Home button (iPhone 8 / SE, etc.): press the side (power) button and the round Home button at the same time, then release.
  • iPhone without a Home button: press the side button and the volume-up button at the same time, then release.
  • Android: press the power button and the volume-down button at the same time (this can vary by device).

Step 2: Open sharing

  • iPhone: tap the small preview in the bottom-left corner right after the screenshot, then tap the share button (a square with an arrow pointing up ↑) at the top right.
  • Android: tap "Share" in the bar that appears at the bottom right after the screenshot.

Step 3: Choose DueSnap from the app list

Scanning starts automatically, and the name and date are saved to your list.

You can also import later: open DueSnap and pick the screenshot via "Photos". If DueSnap doesn't appear in the share sheet, update DueSnap to the latest version on the store.

Snap it. Never miss a date.

Best-before dates, coupons, warranties, subscriptions — all in DueSnap. Free.
