Sound familiar?

Collecting memories is lovely. Keeping them is not.

Trip photos get lost among a thousand screenshots, and the keepsakes sit in a box.

With Schnipsel every trip gets its own board, with photos, map and tickets together.

A scrapbook sounds lovely, but it eats a whole Sunday.

With Schnipsel the board is done before your coffee gets cold.

Kids' drawings, postcards and tickets fade and get lost when you move.

With Schnipsel they stay sharp and colorful, with date and place, on every iPhone you will ever own.

How it works

From the table to the board in two steps.

No scissors, no glue, no printer. No crafting skills either. A short tutorial on first launch shows you around.

1 Snap

You take a photo. Schnipsel does the rest.

Put a keepsake on the table, like a ticket, a postcard or a kid's drawing, and take a photo. Schnipsel cuts it out cleanly, gives it a sticker border and reads the date, title and place along the way. You just tap what you want to keep.

2 Stick

A board that looks handmade.

The sticker lands at a slight tilt, as if you glued it in yourself. Add trip photos, washi tape, stickers, stamps or a few handwritten words. Made a mistake? One tap undoes it.

New: postage stamps

Any photo becomes a postage stamp.

Take a photo or pick one from your library. Slide it under the perforated frame, choose a look and a paper color, and tap Cut Out. The stamp lands on your board with its little teeth, right next to the ticket from that day.

  • Original
  • Black & White
  • Sepia
  • Vintage
  • Vivid
  • Faded
  • Ink Print

Seven photo looks and seven paper colors. Ink Print even lets you pick the ink.

Fresh in the craft box

A little shine, a little season.

Small things that make a board feel special, and that no glue stick can do.

Holo foil

Give your favorite ticket a holographic foil. It shimmers as you tilt your iPhone, just like the real thing, with a soft tap you can feel.

Foxes, pumpkins, hedgehogs, acorns and leaves in every color. The first limited-edition pack, included with Schnipsel Unlimited.

Dream up a sticker

No keepsake at hand? Describe one, and Image Playground draws it right on your iPhone. Schnipsel turns it into a sticker. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence.

Everything for the board

Make every memory as personal as it was.

For the big trips and the small moments in between. Everything that makes a board look like you, without a craft box and without glue on your fingers.

Photos that stay alive

Live Photos move on the board. Photo corners and torn edges give your pictures character.

The day at a glance

A date stamp keeps the day, the place and even the weather, like a postmark from the trip.

Decorations at hand

Washi tape, pins, postmarks, stars, hearts and flowers. All included, nothing to buy.

The right paper

Eight kinds, from kraft paper and linen to a lined notebook. Every story gets its own look.

Room for the private bits

Write down everything you experienced. The text waits in an envelope until you open it.

Hear the moment again

Record a voice note or the sound of a place. It plays from a little cassette on the board.

Always know where it was

One tap adds a small map of the beach town, the concert venue or your favorite café, matched to the paper.

Your own words

Write on the board with your finger, or type in one of four fonts, from typewriter to handwriting.

Tidy as a closet

Sort your boards into shoeboxes, say one per year, one per trip or one for the kids.

Boards and shoeboxes

One board per memory. One shoebox for many.

Every trip, party or school year gets its own board, a big surface without edges where you pin whatever you like. Then the boards go into shoeboxes, just like the real keepsakes used to. And at night the paper turns dark, so it doesn't glare.

Sharing

Show off the trip. Nobody needs the app.

Send your parents, friends or travel buddies a link. The board opens in any browser, on a phone or a computer.

  • Public or private: private links are encrypted, with an optional password
  • Back from the next outing? Tap “Update Link”, the address stays the same
  • One tap on “Stop Sharing Link” and it's gone
  • Or share an image, or an A4 PDF to print and give away

Nobody tracks what you collect. The App Store label says “Data Not Collected”.

Hi there!

Schnipsel is a one-person project from Switzerland. I didn't want my trip tickets forgotten in a box, and I didn't want to spend a Sunday crafting either. No investors, no tracking, just a lot of love for paper.

FAQ

Good to know.

Which iPhone do I need?

An iPhone with iOS 26 or later. Cutting out works best on a table with some contrast to the paper.

Is there an iPad version?

Not yet. Version 1 is made for iPhone. iPad may follow later.

Is it hard to learn?

No. On first launch a short tutorial with five pictures shows you the essentials. You can watch it again any time in Settings with “Watch Tutorial Again”.

How do I show a board to my family?

Choose “Share Link” on the board. Whoever gets the link sees it on schnipsel.app in any browser, no app needed. Private links are encrypted, and you can stop sharing any time.

Do I need an internet connection?

Not for cutting out, reading or designing. Map postcards, weather on stamps, links and iCloud sync need a connection.

What happens when I get a new iPhone?

Sign in with the same Apple Account. Your boards and shoeboxes come back through iCloud.

Can I print my boards?

Yes. Share a board as an image or as an A4 PDF, ready for the printer. A large board simply spreads over several sheets.

How much does Schnipsel cost?

The download is free, and so is your first board, with every tool. For as many as you like, you unlock Schnipsel once. No subscription, all updates included, and with Family Sharing it covers your whole family.

What happens to my boards without the unlock?

Nothing. What you made always stays viewable, editable and shareable. Schnipsel only asks for the unlock when you create another new board.

What is in the Autumn 2026 sticker pack?

Over seventy autumn stickers: foxes, pumpkins, hedgehogs, mushrooms, acorns and all kinds of leaves. It is a limited edition and comes with Schnipsel Unlimited, so if you have unlocked, it is already yours.
