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.
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.
