In their own words
SafeScript
SafeScript stores and organizes source code snippets in a local SQLite database, without requiring a cloud account. Its syntax-aware editor has line numbers, instant search helps find saved snippets, and each snippet includes a notes field. The app is available for Linux and macOS, with version-specific features and pricing. On Linux, folders support drag-to-reorder organization, and users can choose dark or light mode. That version is free and open source under the MIT License and is distributed as a Flatpak through Flathub. The Mac version is built with Swift and SwiftUI and includes real-time search, syntax-aware editing, line numbers, and local SQLite storage. It costs $7.99, paid once through the Mac App Store and requires macOS 15.2 or later. The Mac App Store listing says the developer indicated that the app does not collect data. Thomas J. Allen is identified as the designer and programmer. SafeScript supports private snippets. Its local-storage approach and separate Linux and Mac terms make it useful to distinguish which release fits a reader's platform and requirements.
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.
