  2. Choose a title for your snippet
  3. Enter your text content
  4. Select a folder (optional)
  5. Click "Save"

Organizing with Folders

Keep your snippets organized:

  • Create folders for different categories (work, personal, etc.)
  • Drag and drop snippets between folders
  • Use descriptive folder names
  • Color-code your folders for quick identification

Advanced Features

Search and Filter

Quickly find what you need:

  • Use the search bar to find snippets by title or content
  • Filter by folder to narrow down results
  • Use keyboard shortcuts for faster access

Import/Export

Backup and migrate your data:

  • Export your snippets as JSON or CSV
  • Import from other snippet managers
  • Regular backups are recommended

Security

How Your Data is Protected

  • All data is encrypted locally using strong encryption
  • Your master password is never stored or transmitted
  • Data stays on your device - we don't have access to it
  • Even we can't see your snippets

Security Tip: Choose a strong master password and don't share it with anyone.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Extension not appearing

Make sure the extension is enabled in chrome://extensions/

Forgot master password

Unfortunately, we can't recover your password due to encryption. You'll need to reset the extension and start fresh.

Snippets not saving

Check that you have enough storage space and that the extension has proper permissions.
