Snipify

Save, manage, and reuse code snippets — synced to the cloud via GitHub Gists or Bitbucket.

Antigravity IDE

Install via the CLI:

antigravity --install-extension srawad.snipify

If not found, download the .vsix from the Open VSX Registry and run: antigravity --install-extension snipify-x.x.x.vsix

Features

• Save snippets from any selection: right-click → Save Snippet, or use the + button in the sidebar
• Search snippets by title, language, or tag directly in the sidebar
• Insert a snippet at the cursor with a single click — supports VS Code tab stops ($1, ${1:placeholder})
• Pin frequently used snippets to the top of the list
• Time-based grouping: Pinned → Most Used → Today → This Week → This Month → Earlier
• Usage counter — insert count shown beside each snippet title; Most Used surfaces your top 5
• Language icons for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, CSS, and more
• Share link — copy a direct URL to any snippet in one click
• Export snippets to .code-snippets (VS Code native) or JSON
• Import snippets from .code-snippets or a Snipify JSON export
• Offline support — snippets cached locally so the list stays available when the provider is unreachable
