Snippets

Snippets is a feature-rich and attractive application made for software developers who want to manage code snippets to get optimized results for various projects without having to re-write them. Plus, it can be used to directly share code with other people, without having to resort to third-party programs or web services.

Simple and elegant interface

The interface is eye-catching and neatly organized, showing the library, highlights and labels in a well-structured manner. You can search within all snippets and quickly select the highlights, such as C++, C#, HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, SQL or XML.

Easily create and organize snippets

A new snippet can be added to the library by writing code, selecting its type, and editing properties regarding the label, related URL, author, license, export file name, and tab trigger. Copy can be copied to the Clipboard, exported to file, as well as easily removed from the library.
In addition, you can toggle between table and list viewing mode, wrap text, merge or delete labels, and install distributors (e.g. Android, Dreamweaver, RubyMine, Visual Studio, WebStorm).

Configure program preferences

When it comes to the app's configuration, you can show the program in the taskbar only or tray only (instead of both), assign new keyboard shortcuts for creating a new snippet and performing a global search, pick the number of recently used items, switch to another editor theme and font size, restructure the highlights, as well as enable synchronization via a snippets.me account to be able to share data with other users easily.

Evaluation and conclusion

We haven't encountered any unpleasant surprises in our tests as far as stability is concerned, thanks to the fact that Snippets didn't freeze, crash or show errors. It left a small footprint on system resources, using low CPU and memory.
All in all, Snippets comes loaded with practical options wrapped in an attractive and comfortable interface for creating and organizing programming code snippets.
