Which browsers are supported?

The Code Snippet Manager works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. For the best experience, use the latest version of your preferred browser.

Where are my code snippets stored, and will they survive a browser restart?

Your snippets are saved to your browser's local storage, which writes automatically every time you add, edit, or delete an entry. Because local storage is persistent rather than session-based, your library survives page refreshes, closing the tab, and full browser restarts without any account or sync setup. The trade-off is that the data is tied to one browser on one device: it won't appear in a different browser, in private or incognito windows, or on another machine, and clearing your browser cache or site data will erase it. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so proprietary or work-in-progress code stays on your machine. To guard against an accidental cache clear, use the built-in Export to keep a JSON backup. Start saving snippets above and your collection will be waiting next time you open the page.

How do I move my snippet library to another computer or browser?

Use the Export and Import actions built into the manager. Export writes your entire collection to a plain-text JSON file named with the current date, which you can store anywhere, version-control, or transfer to another device. On the new machine or browser, open the same tool and use Import to read that JSON file back in; the imported snippets are merged into the existing library, and any missing fields are filled with sensible defaults so older backups still load cleanly. Because the data lives in one browser's local storage and isn't synced to a server, exporting is also the safest way to protect against a cleared cache wiping your collection. Running an export periodically gives you a reliable, portable backup. Add or load your snippets above, then click Export to create your first copy.

What is the difference between categories and tags for organizing snippets?

Both help you find snippets, but they work at different levels. A category is a single broad bucket a snippet belongs to, chosen from built-in options like Algorithms, API, Authentication, Hooks, Database, and Utilities, so it answers the question "what kind of thing is this?" Tags are free-form labels you type yourself, and a snippet can carry several at once, making them ideal for cross-cutting attributes a single category can't capture, such as a framework name, a project, or a status like "needs-review." A good habit is to lean on categories for high-level grouping and tags for the details that span categories. You can filter by category, by language, or by individual tag, and combine them to narrow results quickly. Save a snippet above with both a category and a couple of tags to see how the filters work together.

Is the syntax highlighting accurate, and does it work for every language?

The manager applies lightweight, in-browser syntax highlighting that colors strings, comments, numbers, and known language keywords so a saved snippet reads as structured code rather than a flat block of text. It is pattern-based rather than a full parser, so it recognizes the common keyword sets for popular languages and gives reasonable results across the supported list; for languages without a dedicated keyword set, it falls back to a general highlighting style. This keeps the tool fast and entirely client-side, but it means highlighting is meant for readable previews, not perfect linting or compiler-grade accuracy, and unusual constructs may not be colored. Your actual code is always stored and copied exactly as you entered it, untouched. Pick the correct language when saving a snippet above to get the most accurate coloring in its preview card.

Can I search inside the code itself, not just by snippet title?

Yes. The search box matches against three things at once: the snippet's title, its description, and the full code body. That means you can find an entry by what it does, by a phrase from your own description, or by a function name, variable, or API call buried inside the code, even if the title doesn't mention it. This is useful when you remember a detail of the implementation but not what you named the snippet. You can combine search with the language, category, and tag filters to narrow results further, and active filters show as removable badges with a single button to clear them all. Sorting options let you order results by newest, oldest, recently modified, title, or grouped by language. Type a keyword into the search box above to look through your whole library instantly.

About the Code Snippet Manager

The Code Snippet Manager is a free, browser-based library for the small pieces of code you rewrite from memory more often than you'd like — a debounce helper, a fetch wrapper with a timeout, a regex you finally got right, a SQL join you keep forgetting. Instead of digging through old projects or scattered Gists, you save each snippet once with a title, description, language, category, and tags, then find it again in seconds. It's built for working developers, students, and anyone who maintains a personal collection of reusable code.

Everything lives in your browser. Snippets are saved to your browser's local storage automatically as you add or edit them, so your library survives page refreshes and browser restarts without any account, server, or sync setup. Because nothing is uploaded, you can keep proprietary or work-in-progress code here without it leaving your machine. The manager loads with three sample snippets so the interface isn't empty on a first visit; delete them whenever you like.

Organizing and finding your snippets

A snippet stores a title, an optional description explaining what it does and when to use it, the code itself, a programming language, a category, and free-form tags. The tool supports 20 languages — including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, C, C++, C#, Swift, Kotlin, SQL, HTML, CSS, Bash, JSON, YAML, and Markdown — and 12 built-in categories such as Algorithms, API, Authentication, Hooks, Database, and Utilities.

Finding a snippet works several ways at once. The search box matches against titles, descriptions, and the code body, so you can search by what a snippet does or by a function name buried inside it. You can also filter by language, category, or tag, and toggle a favorites-only view. Active filters appear as removable badges, and a single "Clear Filters" button resets everything. Sorting options include newest first, oldest first, recently modified, title A–Z, and grouped by language, with starred favorites floated to the top.

Reading and reusing code

Saved code renders with lightweight syntax highlighting that colors strings, comments, numbers, and language keywords, making a snippet readable at a glance rather than a flat wall of text. Each card shows its language badge, category, tags, and the dates it was created and last modified. One click copies the full snippet to your clipboard — a checkmark confirms it — and inline edit and delete controls are right there on the card.

If you prefer the keyboard, the manager has shortcuts: Ctrl+N (or Cmd+N) opens a new snippet form, Ctrl+K jumps to the search box, Ctrl+/ toggles the shortcuts panel, and Esc cancels the current form or closes a dialog.

Backups and moving your library

Because your data lives in one browser's local storage, it's tied to that browser and that device. Two built-in actions keep it portable. Export writes your entire collection to a JSON file named with the current date, giving you a plain-text backup you can version-control or archive. Import reads a JSON file back in and merges those snippets into your library, filling in any missing fields with sensible defaults. Exporting periodically is the simplest way to protect against a cleared cache and to carry your snippets to another machine or browser.

A few habits make the library more useful over time: write a descriptive title and a one-line description for each entry, lean on categories for broad grouping and tags for cross-cutting labels, star the snippets you reach for daily, and run an export now and then as a safety net. Add your first snippet above to start building a collection that's faster to search than the project you originally copied it from.
