Is there a way to check if a specific snap is running (from the CLI)?

Let's say I've launched the Nextcloud Client, but I haven't seen the icon show up in the panel (Gnome Shell is finicky that way). How do I check to see if it is running (from the CLI)?

Is there a one-shot command for this?

(Please do not suggest using the system monitor, I know you can do that. But it requires that you check the properties of the running process to determine if it is a snap or not).

snap info and snap services are not options for GUI programs, as they only tell you about services (for instance: wekan, or nextcloud-server).
