Read-only Windows diagnostics. Collect the logs that matter, export clean Markdown for AI analysis.
LogSnap is a portable, read-only diagnostics tool for Windows technicians. It gathers the facts that actually explain a problem - crashes, disk health, hardware errors, power/sleep issues, slow-performance evidence, recent changes, security state and more - and exports everything to a clean set of Markdown files you can hand straight to an AI (or a colleague) for analysis.
It reads. It never changes your system.

- Read-only - collects data, never modifies the machine.
- Facts, not guesses - the Markdown export stays factual; verdicts and recommendations live only in the UI, so the AI isn't biased by the tool.
- Real hardware truth - actual SMART wear % and temperature (NVMe + SATA), Windows Memory Diagnostic results, WHEA hardware errors, GPU health (TDR).
- "What changed?" - recent updates, drivers and installs lined up against the moment things broke.
- Portable - one
.exe, no installer, no dependencies to deploy. - Local or over the network - diagnose this PC or a remote one (admin + SMB/WMI).

LogSnap is unsigned for now, so SmartScreen or antivirus may warn on first run - this is common for new, independently built tools. It is read-only and does not phone home. Each release lists the file's SHA-256 so you can verify the exact binary you downloaded.
Full documentation (what each section means and how the data is collected) is attached to each release.
