Introducing SnipWiz

There are plenty of snippet managers out there. So why build another one?

The problem

Most snippet managers fall into two camps: cloud-based tools that require accounts, subscriptions, and trust — or bloated Electron apps that eat 200+ MB of RAM to show you a text file.

We wanted something different. A snippet manager that:

  • Stays on your machine. No cloud sync, no accounts, no telemetry.
  • Launches instantly. Not another Electron app.
  • Has version history. Without making you learn git.
  • Gets out of your way. Keyboard-first, minimal UI, no onboarding wizards.

The solution

SnipWiz is built with Tauri — a Rust-based framework that uses your OS’s native WebView instead of bundling an entire Chromium browser. The result is an ~16 MB app that launches in under a second.
