DevKeep vs Lepton

DevKeep is a web workspace for developers who save, organize, find, and share code snippets. Each snippet supports syntax highlighting across more than 20 languages. You can search by title, tag, or language, then filter the library by tag or language. A snippet can have up to 10 tags, with autocomplete assisting during entry. One-click copying supports quick reuse, and public links provide a way to share snippets. DevKeep is free to use and the site says no credit card is required. Its Free plan is listed at free and includes the 10-tag limit per snippet. The service runs on the web. The maker page credits Anuradha and provides an email contact. No integrations or security or compliance details are stated on the opened maker page.

Lepton is a free desktop code snippet manager that uses GitHub Gist for storage and syncing. It supports unlimited public and secret snippets, unlimited tags, and language groups, plus editing for Markdown and Jupyter Notebook snippets. Search can match filenames, languages, descriptions, tags, IDs, and downloaded snippet contents. Searching all snippet contents globally requires enabling `snippet.downloadAll` before syncing. Lepton supports GitHub Enterprise and lets users sign in with GitHub OAuth or a GitHub personal access token with the `gist` scope. The project says there is no separate sync service: data is stored locally in the app or remotely in GitHub Gist. Packaged builds use Electron safeStorage for cached tokens when available, with a plaintext-file fallback if it is unavailable. Settings in `.leptonrc` include themes, editor options, proxy, shortcuts, notifications, and language. Desktop releases are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, including AppImage and Snap packages for Linux. The project is MIT-licensed. The free plan costs nothing.
