boom is a Ruby command-line tool for storing and retrieving text snippets like URLs, canned responses, and notes. Snippets are organized into lists and can be quickly copied to the clipboard from the shell.
Use cases
- stash frequently used urls and copy them to clipboard from terminal
- store canned email responses as command-line snippets
- manage simple todos in the shell
- quickly retrieve saved text snippets without leaving the command line
- organize snippets into named lists for easy lookup
When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want fast access to reusable text snippets
- you want a lightweight, zero-config snippet manager installed via a single gem
- you need to copy stored urls or canned text to your clipboard instantly
When to avoid
- you need a GUI snippet manager or cross-device sync
- you want an actively developed tool with recent feature work
- you need encrypted or shared snippet storage
