In their own words
ByteStash
ByteStash is a code snippet manager for saving, searching, revising and sharing code. Each save creates a revision that can be named, compared with a diff or restored. A snippet can contain multiple files, each with its own language, syntax highlighting and diff. Full-text search covers titles, descriptions, tags and file contents, with filters for language, collection or tag. Users can make snippets public, share tokenised links with expiry and password options, or embed them with a script tag. ByteStash also provides an MCP server with nine tools and OAuth 2.1 workspace consent; named compatible clients include Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and Codex. Importers cover GitHub Gist, snippet-box and the original ByteStash. The Free plan allows 100 snippets per workspace and one member, with 120 API requests per minute. Pro costs £2.50 a month, billed annually at £30, and includes unlimited snippets, one member, 600 API requests per minute and the MCP server. Team costs £5 a month, billed annually at £60 per seat; it includes up to 500 members, 1,500 API requests per minute, an audit log, roles and permissions.
SnyPy
SnyPy is an open-source, self-hosted code snippet manager for development teams. Its web interface uses the Monaco Editor for creating, editing, and sharing snippets. Users can manage labels for an account or team, while administrators configure the supported languages across a deployment. Teams can share snippets in restricted groups, and individual users decide whether a snippet may be shared. Search covers labels and snippet content. The project includes a REST API for managing snippets; its backend handles authentication, storage, and team permissions. The frontend is described as a TypeScript and Angular web UI, and the maker provides a web demo plus Docker Compose quickstart commands for self-hosting. SnyPy is released under the MIT license. It is presented for team sharing rather than desktop or mobile applications, and no third-party integrations, security certifications, or support plan are listed. The available platforms are web, self-hosted, and API.
