Your snippets, one keystroke away.
SnipTrove keeps your boilerplate, templates and saved text in a fast local vault — then pastes any of it into any app with a global hotkey. No cloud, no account, no subscription.

Built to disappear into your workflow.
Hotkey palette
A global shortcut opens a Spotlight-style search anywhere. Type, hit enter, done — under 150 ms.
Instant full-text search
SQLite FTS5 under the hood. Thousands of snippets stay searchable as fast as you can type.
Variables & placeholders
Use {{name}} for prompts, {{date:%d.%m.%Y}} for the date, {{clipboard}} to weave in what you copied.
Direct text injection
On macOS & Windows SnipTrove types straight into the focused app — your clipboard stays untouched.
Folders & tags
Group snippets into folders, tag them, and filter instantly. Markdown or plain text, your call.
Import & export
Import a folder of .txt/.md files, or back everything up to a single JSON file — lossless round-trip.
Three keys to paste anything.
Press the hotkey
Default ⌃⇧V — fully configurable. The palette appears over whatever app you're in.
Search & pick
Type a few letters, arrow to the right snippet. Variables get a quick fill-in form.
It lands in place
SnipTrove pastes (or types) the finished text into your app and gets out of your way.
A native app that gets out of your way.
Organize in a tidy three-pane window, summon anything with a keystroke, and fill in variables on the fly.
