Snug

Lend and borrow, together.

Why I built Snug.
I lent a book to a friend two years ago, and I still don't know who has it. When I mentioned it, friends and family told me the same thing: they lose track of their books too. Everything is going digital, but plenty of us still love our books and want to take care of them.
So I built Snug, a small, friendly app that keeps track of the books you own, lend and borrow, and gives a gentle nudge when one is due back. It is free, it has no ads, and it is made by one person.
Questions
Is Snug free?
Yes. Snug is free, and there are no ads.
Which phones does it work on?
iPhone and Android. Both apps are on their way to the stores.
Do my friends need Snug too?
No. You can log a loan with just a name. If your friend has Snug as well, the loan shows up for both of you and they can confirm it.
Who makes Snug?
Snug is an independent project made by one person, Apoorv Deshmukh. Questions or ideas are always welcome at support@getsnugapp.com.
