September 7, 2026 Seven years of a side project

The initial commit was 2017. v2 shipped in 2018. I nearly abandoned it more than once.

SnipperApp 3 is a full rewrite in Swift 6 — folders, tags, workspaces, iCloud sync, two-way GitHub Gist sync, markdown notes with images.

It's crazy to think how much everything changed since the initial release.

The SnipperApp is still there, but the way people use it changed over time and it's good to keep it up to date with modern trends.

    Seven years gives you something most early products don't: actual usage history. Did the way people use SnipperApp change enough over that time to reveal a specific workflow that's now driving retention, or was the rewrite mainly about keeping the product technically current?

September 4, 2018 First Feedback

The first real customer feedback was received! One of my big goals is making developers life easier, and to hear positive feedback about something you did from scratch is the best feeling ever.

September 3, 2018 Snipper App Release

Snipper App was published to the App Store. Try to create as much noise as possible. Post your app at least to the ProductHunt, HN, and Reddit.

August 1, 2017 Initial Commit

The initial commit was made. It took me 12 months to build the Snipper App v1 as a side project.

I remember multiple times when was almost ready to abandon the project. Never give up and just go for your dream.

About

Every engineer needs somewhere to keep reusable code and notes. I never found an app that suited me, so I built one. SnipperApp 3 adds a built-in MCP server, so Claude and Cursor can search and save snippets too.
