About SnappyJSON
The JSON tool we wished existed.
Our story
SnappyJSON was born out of frustration.
As developers, we work with JSON constantly — API responses, configuration files, logs, data exports. But every JSON tool we tried fell into the same traps: either too basic to be useful, or so bloated with features that finding a simple value became a chore.
We wanted something different:
- A tool that shows structure AND raw text, perfectly in sync
- Search that actually finds what you're looking for
- Performance that doesn't choke on real-world files
- A design that's actually pleasant to look at
So we built it ourselves.
SnappyJSON is the JSON viewer and editor we always wanted. Fast, beautiful, and thoughtfully designed for the way developers actually work.
What we believe
Simplicity is a Feature
The best tools do one thing exceptionally well. SnappyJSON is laser-focused on making JSON work delightful.
Privacy by Default
Your data is yours. We don't collect it, we don't upload it, we don't track you. Everything stays on your machine.
Beautiful & Functional
Great design isn't decoration — it's how a tool feels to use. Every pixel of SnappyJSON is crafted with care.
Built with modern technology
SnappyJSON is built with a modern, performant stack:
- Tauri — Native Mac app without Electron's memory overhead
- React & TypeScript — Reliable, type-safe frontend
- Monaco Editor — The same editor that powers VS Code
- Tailwind CSS — Beautiful, consistent styling
The result? A native app that's fast, lightweight, and a joy to use.
