What it is

Lintalist is a free Windows application that stores searchable snippets in bundles and pastes a selected snippet into the active program. Snippets can insert the current date or time, request basic input, present a selection list, or run a script. They support HTML, Markdown, RTF, and images. Search modes include regular, fuzzy, regular expression, and experimental Magic search. Keyboard shortcuts and abbreviations trigger snippets without opening the search window, while bundles can load according to part of the active window title. Plugins and AutoHotkey scripts extend the application. Bundles are simple text files that users can maintain and exchange. Lintalist keeps settings and bundles in its program folder rather than the Windows registry. The maker lists Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 as supported; XP SP3 and Vista are untested. The destination folder must allow write access for bundle updates. Feedback is directed to GitHub Issues and Discussions, with the AutoHotkey forum also linked. No paid plans or mobile support are listed.
