Snipit

What Snipit is

Snipit is a cloud service for keeping code snippets together, organizing them, and sharing them with other people. You can write snippets in its web app or capture code blocks from visited pages with a browser extension. Lists, collections, custom tags, and starred favorites help arrange a library. Its syntax-colored editor supports 140 languages. Browser extensions are available for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox; when a page has suitable markup, an extension can supply a snippet’s title, syntax, and tags. The VS Code extension searches a Snipit library and inserts snippets into a project.

The Basic plan is free for personal use and public sharing, with unlimited public snippets and limited technical support. Pro costs €5 per month, billed as €60 yearly, and adds unlimited private snippets, private sharing with up to five users, and full technical support. Team costs €9 per month per user, billed yearly, and includes unlimited private sharing and priority technical support. Users can sign in with Google or GitHub. Snipit says it does not sell personal information; its privacy policy names Google, GitHub, Braintree, and Digital Ocean as third-party processors.
