What is Snippet Manager?
The Snippet Manager lets you save, organize, and quickly find text snippets you use often. Tag snippets by category, search your collection, and copy any snippet with one click. All data stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
Each snippet has a title, body, optional tags, and a pin flag that keeps it at the top of the list. Live search filters across title, body, and tags as you type. Export ships a JSON file saved as .txt for compatibility; import reads JSON back in. The library lives in private local storage on your device, so closing the tab keeps your snippets but switching devices or profiles does not migrate them.
How to use
- Click 'Add Snippet' and enter a title, the snippet content, and optional tags for organization.
- Search or filter by tags to find the snippet you need, then copy it with one click.
- Export all snippets as a JSON file for backup, or import previously exported snippets.
When to use
- Storing email reply templates for tickets, sales follow-ups, or HR responses.
- Keeping reusable bits of Markdown, SQL, or shell commands in one searchable place.
- Building a personal library of prompt fragments for AI tools.
Result
Saving frequently used email templates — create snippets for 'Meeting Follow-up', 'Project Update', and 'Out of Office' with tags like 'work' and 'email', then quickly copy whichever you need.
FAQ
- Where exactly are my snippets stored?
- In private local storage on your device, scoped to this domain and this profile. Nothing is sent to any server. If you clear site data, switch to a private window, or open the page on a different device, the snippets in that other context will be empty until you import.
- Is there a limit on how many snippets I can save?
- Practical limit is the local storage quota for this site, usually 5-10 MB. That's roughly tens of thousands of short text snippets. Search stays fast up to a few thousand snippets; past that, prefer tagging and filtering over scrolling.
- How does tagging work?
- Add comma-separated tags when creating or editing a snippet (e.g. work, email, draft). Each tag becomes a chip you can match in the search box. Tags are stored lowercase, so searches are case-insensitive. Use 2-3 tags per snippet to balance coverage and noise.
- The export file ends in .txt, is that right?
- Yes, the content is JSON but saved with a .txt extension so it downloads cleanly on every operating system. To re-import, you can either rename it to .json before importing or just hit the Import button and pick the .txt directly, both work.
- Can I sync snippets across two laptops?
- There's no cloud sync. The export-import flow is the manual sync: export on laptop A, drop the file in any cloud drive, import on laptop B. Repeat whenever you've added important snippets. The pinned and tag data is preserved across export-import.
