Lepton vs Snipplle

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.

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.
