Introduction

After nine years of coding and months of focused development, I built the Markdown editor I always wished existed — one that respects your focus, your privacy, and your intelligence.

Why Dev Snippet stands out

  • True Local‑First: All data stays on your machine via SQLite and a secure snippet:// protocol. No accounts. No forced sync.
  • Ideal for researchers drafting papers in Markdown (arXiv‑ready).

Downloads

  • Version 1.2.2 for Windows, macOS, and Linux: releases
