CodeKeep

What CodeKeep is

CodeKeep is a service for organizing, sharing, and discovering code snippets, available on the web and through extensions. When you press “Paste” on a website, an Add Snippet dialog opens for capturing a snippet. Folders group snippets, and users can share their folders or bookmark folders shared by other users. Labels provide another way to organize a collection and filter snippets. CodeKeep also lets users browse snippets shared for reuse and offers dark mode.

Its screenshot editor includes templates and options for adding images and backgrounds, along with social accounts. CodeKeep says its VS Code and Google Chrome extensions can import and export snippets. The Free plan includes unlimited public snippets, up to 40 folders, and up to 20 folder bookmarks; it has no private snippets or private folders, and screenshots carry a watermark. Pro costs $4.99 a month and includes unlimited private snippets, folders, and bookmarks, private folders, folder icons, and screenshots without a watermark. The privacy policy says personally identifying information is not shared publicly or with third parties except when required by law, and that collected information is retained only as long as necessary and protected using commercially acceptable means.
