  • Lovely, but printing code is tricky

    The app is great and works as advertised. Two caveats: 1/ Printing code is tricky when you have a dark theme selected, the text becomes nearly unreadable on paper. One solution would be to allow a second theme for printing or just print black text, because paper is usually white 2/ Really missing an iOS app so I can review code on the go or side by side with the Mac
  • Far more useful than a stash/shelf!

    Preserve your ideas/re-usable code, make them searchable! I've lost count of the times I've said "I'm sure I have something for that" when helping a colleague and pulled a working example out of my SnippetLab, worth every penny ❤️

    This is a well executed bit of work.
  • A seriously great tool

    SnippetsLab is one of those apps you don't know how you lived without once you integrate it into your workflow. It's also great that it continuosly gets updates. The only thing I really wish it had was an iOS app. Honestly I don't even care about being able to edit on a mobile device. Just being able to quickly read as a reference and maybe copy text would be amazing. We already have an iCloud sync option which is great for backups but unfortunately you can't access it away from your Mac.

    The default Notes app is just too slow sometimes, this is a great little tools for anything related to code, you can save your lil bash script, your temp experimental code, your curl request and response.
  • Interactivity Issues with the System Tray: Double-Click Inconvenience and Quick Search

    2
    By yournicknama
    The application has potential, but there are several significant drawbacks to consider before purchasing. The key snippet preview feature only activates with a double click, which is inconvenient for quick access. Additionally, there are no hotkeys for preview activation. A system for organizing snippets through a hierarchy of categories or tags would be beneficial. Issues with text formatting when creating new snippets can also be troublesome. While the app is unique, these aspects may limit its usefulness for some users.
  • Exactly what I needed

    I used to use EverNote to store code snippets but it seemed like it imbedded extra characters or something. I just started getting back into iOS programming and I needed something to store some bits of code. This works virtually identical to EverNote and I can store stuff locally or sync with iCloud which works perfectly because I switch from macbook to mac mini all the time. I have not had any issues with it.
  • Alfred Workflow Install broken | No response from dev

    By JackofSpades707
    The "Alfred Workflow' -> "Install Workflow" Fails to install the workflow with the error "Please make sure that the Alfred app is installed and try again" I have since Installed Alfred from the App Store, and attempted to install to no avail. Read the documentation and no mentions of this. Also tried configuring by hand to no avail.
  • Such a great app

    I use this app for my code snippets and general note taking needs and it works perfectly. Half my notes are not even code related so you do not need to use this specifically for code! The search, tagging, organization and the fact a single note can have multiple tabs brings this app way above the other note taking apps. Ive tried the competition and I always keep coming back to this.
  • Missing Github Automatic Sync

    Lepton syncs with github this app does not. I would use this instead of lepton if it supported github sync automatically.
