What's inside Snippety

  1. Overview of Snippety text expansion and snippet management

    Snippety is a system-wide text expander and snippet manager for Mac and iPhone. It allows users to type short keyword triggers (e.g., :email) that instantly expand into full text in any application or text field. It includes a Spotlight-style popup (⌘⇧Space) for searching and organizing a snippet library, and supports iCloud sync across Apple devices.

  2. Automate snippets using shell scripts and CLI

    For advanced workflows, Snippety allows running shell scripts inside snippets to fetch data from APIs or generate dynamic content. Pro users have access to a snippety Command-Line Interface (CLI) to expand, search, create, edit, and tag snippets directly from the terminal, enabling snippets to be piped into other commands (e.g., commit messages).

  3. Integrate Snippety with Apple Shortcuts

    Snippety Pro provides over 20 native Apple Shortcuts actions. These actions allow users to find, expand, create, and tag snippets via the Shortcuts app, Spotlight, the menu bar, or Siri.

  4. Use AI capabilities within snippets

    Snippety features a built-in AI Assistant with integration for OpenAI and any OpenAI-compatible or local models (via Ollama). This allows users to generate, rewrite, translate, or summarize text directly inside a snippet.

  5. Use advanced templating with placeholders and conditional blocks

    Snippety provides a deep templating engine for dynamic snippets. It includes 20 built-in smart placeholders for fill-in text fields, dropdowns, calculated dates, clipboard/file contents, and cursor positioning. Uniquely, it supports conditional logic (if / elseif / else) within a single snippet, allowing one template to adapt to different situations.

  6. Snippety pricing and licensing options

    Snippety offers several pricing tiers for Pro features:

    • Free tier: Basic features with limited snippets.
    • Monthly: $2.99/month
    • Annual: $19.99/year
    • Lifetime: $49.99 one-time (all devices)
    • Lifetime Standalone: $39.99 one-time (2 macOS devices)
    • Lifetime iPhone & iPad: $19.99 one-time (upgradeable to all devices for $29.99)

    One App Store purchase covers all Apple devices sharing the same Apple ID.

  7. Configure app-specific snippet rules

    Snippety supports 'App Rules' to filter which snippet collections and tags are available based on the active application. For example, you can configure the app so that only code snippets appear when using an IDE, and only email templates appear when using Mail.

  8. Developer features for code snippets

    Snippety is optimized for developers with support for syntax highlighting in over 50 programming languages. It supports creating templates in HTML, RTF, or Markdown.
