SnippetsOn every Mac

Press ⌘S on any card: a name, a language (encore guesses it among 85) and tags. Placeholders like {{name}} ask for a value before pasting. Your snippets and favorites stay in step between your paired Macs.

⇧⌘V

Everything you copy

Press ⇧⌘V in any app. Your recent copies slide up as cards you recognize at a glance: an image is an image, a color is a color. Return pastes it right where you were.
