Lepton is a free, open-source desktop code snippet manager built on Electron and powered by GitHub Gist. It offers unlimited public/secret snippets, tags, language grouping, markdown and Jupyter Notebook rendering, search, themes, and cross-platform support (macOS/Windows/Linux).
Use cases
- manage code snippets across macos windows and linux
- organize github gists with tags and language groups
- search and sync code snippets with github gist
- store markdown and jupyter notebook snippets
- free open source snippet manager desktop app
When to choose
- you already use GitHub Gist and want a dedicated client
- you want a free, cross-platform snippet manager with no backend or data collection
- you need markdown/Jupyter preview, tagging, and fast snippet search
When to avoid
- you don't have or want a GitHub account, since Gist is the only storage backend
- you need offline-first snippet storage independent of GitHub
- you need team-shared snippet libraries beyond what Gist offers
