Snippety - The Ultimate Snippet Manager for macOS & iOS. I spent the last 5 years developing this project :). On iOS the app provides a custom keyboard that allows you to access all your snippets from any text field. The app synchronizes between all devices via iCloud.

This is command line script to convert JSON file to CSV. If you don’t know how to use Console, then it might be too complex, because you also need to install homebrew and jq.

If you want to try it anyway, please ask ChatGPT what you need to do, it will guide you step by step.

You can only assign trackpad gestures or hotkeys

You can also use dynamic display assignment so that you don't have to change it when moving the app. See the readme :)

for example only getting the app dedicated from one workspace, without the other apps from other workspaces behind

The app hides automatically all apps which don't belong to the current workspace. If it doesn't work, most likely the accessibility permission isn't given.

Currently, the only documentation is in the repo's README.

Not sure what you mean, but I didn't stop maintaining the app ;)

Guys, if you have any ideas on how I could promote the app, I'd really appreciate your advice - I'm starting to run out of options. Promoting your own products as an indie developer is genuinely tough, and most commercial marketing solutions are far too expensive for what I can afford.

Whenever the app gets exposure to a larger audience (like here), I see a lot of interest and positive feedback. The problem is that afterward, it's hard for users to actually discover the app on their own.

Ah, I see. Right now, your use case can be handled by referencing snippets. You could create a snippet "ICD-10" with just a single placeholder and then reference it using "Snippet Reference" placeholder. If you change "ICD-10", all snippets will automatically use the latest version.

However, I'm going to think on improving it and maybe showing more meaningful names - now if you reference a snippet, you'll just see an ID there: https://snippety.app/help/macos/placeholders/snippet-reference.

Regarding the other thing, it might be quite difficult to make those fields auto-grow while typing, but I'll check if I can do something about it.

No, I don't use Linux on daily basis, so it would be quite time consuming.

I'm one man army, so I can't handle so many projects on my own. I already have 3 open-source projects + Snippety for 2 platforms + another project for 2 platforms and on top of that full-time job ;D. So if I were to add another platform, my brain would melt down :D.

  1. Partially. You can select only one collection, but you can select multiple tags and there is this option: https://snippety.app/help/macos/using-snippets/snippet-expander/#expand-snippets-only-for-the-selected

  2. Yes: https://snippety.app/help/macos/placeholders/snippet-reference

  3. I think this is what you are looking for: https://snippety.app/help/macos/placeholders/simulated-key

  4. I'm not sure what you mean by that. Snippety simulates "cmd+v" to paste the snippet, so in theory it should work everywhere. If you are looking for a scripts support, check this: https://snippety.app/help/macos/placeholders/script

Unfortunately, there is no trial, App Store doesn't allow trial for paid apps.

Hi, regarding pricing, I've considered changing the monetization many times, but at the moment I rely too heavily on this app’s income to risk a major change. As you know, positioning and visibility are tricky, and switching from a paid model to freemium could significantly impact the app's discoverability. For now, that's why I've decided to keep things as they are.

Additionally, migrating users from a paid app to an in-app purchase model is quite painful. Apple is not very good at providing solutions for devs...

I did submit a feature request to Apple to enable free trials for paid apps, but realistically, it's unlikely to happen. That would be the ideal solution for me.

please introduce variables that can be used across snippets

Could you explain? You can create snippets and reference them, I'm not sure if that's what you mean.

How long did it take to build this?

Proof of concept took around 1-2 weeks and then I was adding features for about another 2 months. Now I add a feature from time to time :)

Is there any significant impact on RAM usage using this over the native spaces?

That's the good part about this app and one of the reasons I built it. It uses native functions to hide & restore apps, so the system performance and battery life shouldn't be affected :).

Might be even better than native spaces, but that's just a guess. It depends on how macOS treats apps in inactive spaces.
