The record

Purpose: SnippetsLab is a snippet manager and note-taking app for developers to build a personal coding knowledge base.
Organization: It organizes content with nested folders, tags, smart groups, shortcuts, and multiple tabs within a snippet.
Language support: It supports syntax highlighting for over 600 languages and text formats, with automatic language detection for 50 popular languages.
Markdown: Markdown features include side-by-side preview, Mermaid diagrams, MathJax formulas, code blocks, and customizable CSS themes.
Search and access: The app offers full-text fuzzy search, smart filters, intelligent ranking, a menu-bar assistant, and Quick Actions.
Integrations: It supports Alfred, Raycast, macOS Services, GitHub Gists, a command-line tool, and an MCP server for compatible AI agents.
Import and export: It imports from Quiver, CodeBox, GitHub Gists, JSON, and plain text, and exports libraries as JSON, XML, or text files.
Sync and backups: iCloud Sync keeps the library synchronized across Macs signed in with the same Apple ID, and automatic backups are kept at several intervals.
Privacy: The privacy policy says usage and device data are collected anonymously, encrypted in transit, and not used for advertising, targeting, or cross-site tracking.
GitHub access: For GitHub integration, credentials are stored locally in Keychain and the app requests only the gist scope, without access to repositories or profile information.
AI agent access limits: The CLI and MCP server are read-only by default; when write access is enabled, agents can create snippets but cannot edit, move, or delete existing content.
Platform and availability: SnippetsLab is exclusive to macOS, requires macOS 14.6 or later, supports Apple Silicon and Intel, and is available only through the Mac App Store.
Support: The maker invites feature suggestions and support requests by email at [email protected].
