Note
While I am no longer actively developing this project, others have stepped in to fix it along the way. I have heard that it works as of January 6, 2015.
Purpose
Quick, we don't want them to know that we saved this pic, what shall we do? SnapchatHax to the rescue! The purpose of this project is twofold:
- to provide an easy-to-use Objective-C platform to interface with the Snapchat backend.
- to provide users with an easy-to-use iOS application for the purpose of bypassing Snapchat's inherent limitations.
Currently, this bare-bones app does my minimal requirements. Now, however, I have my heart set on beating the guy who wrote SnapHack. By the end of this, I should have a relatively full-featured Objective-C interface for Snapchat's backend!
To-do
Here's a list of things I think are pretty much essential:
- Make the backlog include old snaps that are no longer viewable
- Option to clear feed
- Change nickname and email address
Here are some features which would ideally be added:
- Send snaps to friends (pictures & video)
- Add & remove friends
- Block and unblock users
- Do something with stories, although I don't even understand them.
- Get "bests" of users

Update: I have since started using dstelljes/php-snapchat/ for reference. This is a more complete set of functions.
