That moment of curiosity won't come back
You spot a stock tip online: "This company looks interesting." Your first thought: "I'll look into it later."
By the time you get home, you've forgotten. By the time you remember, the price has already moved. "I wish I'd written that down" — sound familiar?
Kabugazer's Snap feature exists to capture exactly that moment.
What is a Snap?
A Snap is recording a stock's price at this exact moment. Only two things get saved:
- Snap Price: the stock's price at the time of recording
- Snap Date: when you recorded it
That's it. No complicated setup required.
How to Snap
1. Find the stock
In Kabugazer, you can search by company name or 4-digit stock code. Just type the name and select from the suggestions.
What is a stock code?
Every listed Japanese company has a unique 4-digit identifier.
Examples: Toyota → 7203, Sony → 6758, Nintendo → 7974
Don't know the code? Just type the company name — Kabugazer will find it for you.
2. Snap it in Kabugazer
Tap "+ Snap a stock" on your Watch List. Enter the company name or stock code and hit "Snap."
The current price is fetched automatically and saved to your Watch List. All you do is type a name or code.
3. Check your Watch List
After snapping, a card for the stock appears in your Watch List.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Snap Price | The price when you snapped |
| Current Price | Today's price (updated regularly) |
| Change | How much it's moved since your snap |
| Snap Date | When you recorded it |

What should you snap?
There are no rules. "I'm curious about this" is all the reason you need. Here are some common triggers:
- A company making headlines
- A brand or product you use every day
- A company a friend mentioned investing in
- Something that caught your eye on social media
No investing knowledge required. A gut feeling is the perfect reason to snap.
You can snap the same stock multiple times
Snap the same stock at different times and you get multiple reference points. Snapping a stock today and again in three months gives you an instant three-month comparison.
The more you snap, the richer your personal price record becomes.
Key takeaways
- Snapping is as simple as typing a company name or stock code
- Only the price and date are saved — no complex setup
- The best time to snap is right when you get curious
- You can snap the same stock multiple times to compare different moments
