What you get

Keep your reusable code within reach wherever you work.

With SnipperApp 3, you get a reusable code library you can reach without digging through old projects. You can separate work, personal, and learning snippets into workspaces, then use folders, tags, favorites, and full-text search to find what you need. Related files, images, and notes can stay alongside the code, so you keep its context too.

When you need a snippet, you can find it from the keyboard or paste it into your current app through the menu bar. If you use Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf, you can connect your library through the built-in MCP server. Your assistant can then search, read, and create snippets without you repeatedly copying code into chats.

You can keep the same library on your Macs through private iCloud sync. When you want to make selected snippets public, two-way GitHub Gist sync keeps those shared copies and your local versions in step.

  • Reuse code across apps

    You can paste saved snippets into your current app from the menu bar instead of hunting through previous projects.

  • Give AI your code context

    You can let compatible AI assistants search, read, and create snippets in your library without manually copying them into chats.

  • Keep related material together

    You can group multi-file snippets with notes, images, and attachments, then find them by workspace, folder, tag, or full-text search.

  • Carry your library between Macs

    You can sync privately through iCloud and keep selected public snippets updated through two-way GitHub Gist sync.

Best for

  • You reuse code across multiple editors and projects
  • You want your AI coding assistant to access your saved snippets
  • You work on more than one Mac

Skip it if

You probably don't need it if you rarely reuse code and your editor's saved snippets already cover your needs.
