Snibox is a self-hosted snippet manager for collecting and organizing code snippets, markdown, and plain text. It provides a label-oriented web interface with search, built with a Ruby on Rails backend and Vue.js frontend.

Use cases

• self-host a snippet manager to store code snippets
• organize frequently used code snippets with labels and search
• save markdown notes and plain text snippets in one place
• replace GitHub gists with a private self-hosted alternative
• deploy a snippet collection tool via Docker or Heroku

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted, private alternative to gists for code snippets
• you prefer a simple label-based UI with search over heavyweight note apps
• you need support for many programming languages plus markdown and plain text

When to avoid

• you need active development or recent features, as the latest release is from 2022
• you want a desktop or offline-first snippet tool rather than a web application
• you require a license file in the repository, since none is present despite MIT claims
