In their own words
Gisto
Gisto is a free, open-source application for managing and sharing code snippets. It works with GitHub Gists, GitLab Snippets, Snippet-Bin, and local browser storage. Users can search full text, apply custom tags, group by language, and filter by content, filename, tags, or description. Its Monaco editor provides syntax highlighting, autocomplete, Emmet, and configurable settings. A snippet can bundle multiple files, including code, documentation, configurations, and README files; supported formats include Markdown, HTML, JSON, CSV, and PDF, with live preview for GitHub Flavored Markdown. Users can connect an AI API key to create snippet descriptions and tags. Local-only mode stores snippets in IndexedDB and supports editing, tagging, querying, export, and JSON import without an internet connection. That mode does not sync across devices or cloud providers. GitHub and GitLab synchronization connects directly to their official APIs, while access tokens are stored in local storage. Snippet-Bin can be self-hosted. Gisto runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosted setups.
Snipplle
Snipplle is an open-source platform for creating, organizing, storing, and sharing code snippets. Developers can arrange snippets by tags, projects, languages, and collections, then search them to find and reuse code. Version history lets users review changes, compare versions, and restore an earlier one. Snippets and collections can be shared publicly or with a team. Team access uses invitation-based workspaces: each user can create one workspace and join multiple others. Snippets are visible to members of their workspace, and data is isolated between workspaces. The product includes authentication and API token management, and users can access snippets through a CLI. It runs on the web and Linux, offers API access, and can be run locally or self-hosted on a user's own infrastructure. Snipplle Cloud is described as a free public beta with all features available without limits during beta; the listed price is free. For self-hosting, the guide lists PostgreSQL, Node.js 18 or later, and pnpm as prerequisites. Cross-device sync is available.
