Writing & reading

Markdown editor — Write with a split-view live preview, tab indentation, and formatting shortcuts.
Readable code — View syntax-highlighted code blocks and copy a block with one click.
External links — Open links from snippets in your default browser.
Quick copy — Copy an entire snippet to the clipboard and keep track of how often you reuse it.

Search by meaning — Find related ideas even when your search does not use the exact words in a snippet.
Keyword search — Find matches across snippet titles, content, tags, and extracted keywords.
Combined search — Use hybrid search to combine meaning and keyword matches, or switch to either mode individually.
Offline search — Built-in semantic search runs on your computer without an API key or a cloud service.
Related snippets — Explore up to ten related snippets from the active snippet's detail view.
Automatic keywords — Browse an automatically generated keyword cloud and select keywords to narrow results.

Colored collections — Create and rename collections with personalized colors.
Tags and favorites — Label snippets and keep frequently used entries close at hand.
Scoped filters — Combine multiple collections, tags, languages, and date ranges to narrow your library.
Flexible selection — Select snippets with checkboxes, Shift-click, or Command/Ctrl-click.
Bulk actions — Move, tag, favorite, export, or delete multiple snippets together.

Tabbed viewing — Keep several snippets open and choose whether the next selection opens in a new tab or the current one.
More room to read — Collapse snippet details or hide the browser into a compact rail when you need a larger workspace.
Sorting — Sort by best match, newest, oldest, recently updated, title, or most copied.
Interface scaling — Adjust the interface size with saved settings and keyboard zoom shortcuts.

Text and code files — Import text, Markdown, MDX, and source-code files into a chosen collection.
Whole-folder imports — Scan folders recursively, importing supported text files while skipping binary files.
Background progress — Continue using the app while files import, follow progress, and resume interrupted import jobs after startup.

PDF documents — Export one snippet or a selection as formatted PDF documents.
Standalone HTML — Create browsable HTML exports with search, light and dark themes, syntax highlighting, and copy buttons.
JSON data — Export snippet data as JSON for use in other tools.
Multiple formats — Choose several export formats at once, follow progress, and open or reveal the completed files.

Custom library location — Choose a folder and database filename; SnippetBox copies your library and remembers the new location.
Backup and restore — Create a library backup, inspect a backup before restoring, and confirm before replacing current data.
Optional search provider — Use a compatible local or remote search service instead of the built-in model, and test the connection in Settings.
Search index controls — Rebuild the search index from Settings; keyword search remains available when a semantic-search provider fails.

Built-in search works offline. If you choose a remote search provider, text selected for indexing is sent to that provider.
