Built by one person who got tired of refreshing.

I’m Bryan Gula, and I build Snag through my company, Gula Labs, in New York.
Apple Store pickup for a new iPhone comes and goes in minutes. Stores in the US restocked 3,256 times this week. Each drop sold out in about a minute. Refreshing a page by hand is a bad job for a person and a fine job for a computer. Snag is that computer: it reads Apple’s pickup availability for every store in your radius, all day, and pings you the moment your phone shows up, with a button that reserves it on Apple.
What it is: one free live check, email alerts, and an iPhone app with push and a Live Activity on the Lock Screen. What it isn’t: a reseller, a bot that buys for you, or anything to do with Apple Inc. The reserve button takes you to Apple’s own page and you check out there.
I read every reply at hello@snagpickup.com. If a ping was late or wrong, tell me which store and when, and I’ll look at the log.
