CodeKeep vs Snibox

CodeKeep is a web and extension service for organizing, sharing and discovering code snippets. Pressing “Paste” on a website opens an Add Snippet dialog, after which snippets can be placed in folders and filtered with labels. Users can share folders, bookmark folders from other users and browse reusable snippets in CodeKeep’s discovery area. A screenshot editor provides templates, image and background additions and social accounts. CodeKeep says its VS Code and Google Chrome extensions import and export snippets, and the site includes dark mode. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited public code snippets, up to 40 folders, up to 20 bookmarks and the VS Code extension. It excludes private snippets and private folders, and screenshots carry a watermark. The Pro plan costs $4.99 a month and adds unlimited private snippets, folders and bookmarks, private folders, folder icons and watermark-free screenshots. The privacy policy says information is retained only as necessary, protected with commercially acceptable measures and not shared publicly or with third parties except when required by law.

Snibox is a self-hosted snippet manager for collecting and organizing code snippets, Markdown, and plain text. Its label-oriented interface and search help users arrange and find saved material. It is released under the MIT License and listed as free at free. Deployment guides cover Docker, Heroku, macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows; listed platforms also include Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and self-hosted use. The setup is limited to one registered user out of the box: the authentication documentation says only the first registered user can access the personal private snippets repository, and registration of additional users is disabled by default. Production password-reset email uses Mailgun, which the maker says is needed only for resets. Deployment instructions describe configuring Mailgun variables in the.env file or installing the Mailgun Starter add-on on Heroku. The Ubuntu guide also calls for setting up the database before launching the server and configuring credentials if needed. The README links to a demo and says its free Heroku server may take up to 30 seconds to wake.
