Snippets
Snippets is a note-taking and productivity app that brings notes, tasks, and flashcards into one system. Its rich-text editor supports keyboard shortcuts and toolbar formatting, and content can be exported to Markdown. Collections, dashboards, references, and structured attributes provide ways to organize material. Tasks can be kept with notes, assigned due dates and priorities, and entered in plain language. Flashcards include a progress dashboard and a practice mode that adjusts which cards appear based on ratings. Notes are stored on the user's device by default, and offline access is available. Sync choices include a local folder or GitHub repository; Snippets Cloud is labeled coming soon and uses client-side end-to-end encryption for encrypted content. The Cloud service is in beta, and the privacy policy does not guarantee synced data's availability or preservation. The Free plan offers unlimited workspaces and notes, GitHub sync, and folder sync. Cloud is listed at $12 a year, marked coming soon; Pro is listed at $29 a month, also marked coming soon.
