Snippety - Snippets Manager 4+

Initially, I was super annoyed with the app (well any app that does it) for bugging me to write a review...

I like to spend some time using an app, on my own time, to see how it fits into my workflow, before I leave a review.. Well I spent some time, so I'm updating the review..

The app has become one of the must have tools in my daily workflow. I don't really use it how most folks would, but it is still super helpful.

I use it alot for keeping templates in for when I'm entering data into company Bug Tracker (JIRA.) It helps to keep each entry tidy and following the same outline so its easy to find the information I need.

I spent a while looking for an app, that would not only do text expanding, but also let me input custom text as needed because the expanded text is not always the same. Especially when your filling out bug tickets.

I could accomplish this in Alfred as well, but I wanted an stand-alone app, to keep my work related expansions seperate, and to make it a bit easier to set new ones up, as Alfred can be a bit time consuming sometimes.

As for the developer, he actually takes suggestions on what might help inprove the overall experience with the app. Two of mine made it into this last release, and they are a big help in speeding up my workflow.

Thank you very much for updating your review and for detailed feedback :)! I'm glad you enjoy the app.

All ideas that could improve the app are always welcome, so don't hesitate if you have more :).

This is probably the only apple wide snippet manager app out there that supports syntax highlighting for all the major languages and a bit of automation. It’s kind of like what would happen if snippets lab and text expander had a baby. The developer is also clearly talented. It’s a shame then that it isn’t more widely known and is now starting to look like just another hobby project. It would’ve been great if some kind of keyboard function like yoink or Gladys was included along with shortcuts and widgets. Maybe the icon could use a makeover too. Together, these features would make this app certainly top notch.

Thank you very much for this review! Check out also the latest update. Now you can access your snippets from wherever you type using the new Snippety Keyboard! Also mobile app gets placeholders support now!

Truly, it's hard to imagine going back to a pre-Snippety life.

An incredibly powerful and flexible tool for managing all types of commonly typed text and text manipulations. Admittedly, the initial learning curve took some time, but it was absolutely worth the effort. I would also add that the developer is very responsive and helpful.

Snippety is now on my short list of apps that I install without a second thought any time I set up a new device (both personal and professional).

I've used similar tools in the past, but none of them really stuck. Such a simple concept, but executed beautifully - it still feels like magic sometimes.

Thank you very much for your amazing review! Feedback like that always boosts energy and justifies all the effort put into this project. Enjoy the application and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions or ideas!
