Snipstack: Code Snippets

Herman Demsong

About this app

Snipstack keeps the commands and code you reuse in one fast, searchable library, and puts it in your pocket.

On call, on a borrowed laptop, or SSH'd in from your phone: find the command, fill in its variables and copy it, in a few taps.

YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE
Pair the app with Snipstack on your computer by scanning a code, and your whole library syncs through your own Turso database. Edits on either side show up on the other. No Snipstack account, no Snipstack server.

FIND IT FAST
- Search titles and code at once, with matches highlighted.
- Filter by All, Favorites and Commands, or browse folders, tags, favorites and recently used snippets.
- Sort by last edited, created, title, last used or most used.

COPY WITHOUT RETYPING
- Swipe a snippet to copy it or mark it as a favorite.
- Snippets with {{variables}} open a form: type the values, watch a live preview of the finished command, then copy it. Snipstack can remember the values you typed last.
- Copy the raw text when you need the template itself.

WRITE AND EDIT ON THE PHONE
- Create and edit snippets with a code-friendly keyboard row ({{ }}, Tab, |, $, -, /, ~), line numbers and language, folder and tag pickers.
- Variables are detected as you type; give each one a default value.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Your library lives on your phone and in the database you choose. Nothing is sent anywhere else: no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking.
- The database address and token are kept in the Android Keystore.
- Optional fingerprint or face unlock.
- Optional clearing of copied text from the clipboard after a time you choose.

WORKS OFFLINE
Everything works without a connection; changes sync when you are back online. You can also use Snipstack on the phone alone, without any sync.

Also: light, dark or system theme, adjustable code size, and haptic feedback on copy.

Snipstack for desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) is available at snipstack.dev. Sync needs a Turso database, which you create in your own Turso account.
