Snapchat Memories Bulk Exporter That Doesn't Want Your Snap Login

mobile app weekend hack •• multiple requests

Snap's official memories export is brutally slow (up to 7 days), strips capture-time and location metadata from the media files (only HTML manifest has it), and arrives via emailed download links — exactly the surface area phishing actors love. Users hunt for third-party tools but those typically ask for Snapchat credentials, which is its own privacy nightmare. Real opening for an export tool that uses only Snap's own export ZIP and stitches metadata back on-device.

builder note

Don't touch Snap's auth — touch the official ZIP. Parse the HTML manifest, match it to the media files, write out properly EXIF-tagged outputs to the camera roll. App lives entirely on device. Charge $5 once. Snap can't kill it because it doesn't talk to Snap's servers.

Snap deliberately makes the official export annoying and lossy. Third-party tools fill the gap but require credentials. There's a clean opening for a local-first iOS/Android app that takes the official export ZIP as input and rebuilds proper photo-roll-compatible files with timestamps and geotags.

Snapchat official data export Slow (up to 7-day wait), strips EXIF time/location from media files, dumps a giant ZIP with HTML manifest the user has to parse manually.
Koofr Snapchat Memories export integration Solves storage but not metadata reconstruction; also requires Koofr account and trust.
Various 'SnapDownloader' web tools Most ask for Snapchat login or browser session — exactly the privacy compromise users want to avoid.
