Overview

SnipperApp for Raycast

Search, paste, and capture code snippets from your SnipperApp library and the SnipperApp Hub — without leaving Raycast.

Features

  • Search Snippets — fuzzy-search your local library, scoped by workspace, language, or favorites. Paste, copy, "Copy as Markdown", open in SnipperApp, or toggle ⭐ favorites. Results rank by usage (frecency).
  • Create Snippet / Save Clipboard / Save Selection — capture code into your library in one keystroke, targeting your chosen workspace and folder.
  • Recent Snippets & Paste Last Snippet — instant re-access to what you just used.
  • Search Hub & Browse Trending — discover community snippets and add them to your library with one action.

Requirements

  • SnipperApp 3 installed from the Mac App Store (the extension talks to the app's bundled helper). Don't have it? Get SnipperApp. Hub search works without it.
  • Accessibility permission for Raycast is required for the "Paste" action (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility).

How it works

The extension communicates with SnipperApp through its bundled snipper-mcp helper (an MCP server that ships inside SnipperApp 3.app). This means:

  • No Full Disk Access required — the helper reads your library on the extension's behalf.
  • No tokens or login — everything runs locally.
  • Changes you make (new snippets, favorites) sync straight into the app.

Community (Hub) features use the public SnipperApp Hub API. Anonymous view/import analytics can be disabled in preferences.

Preferences

  • Primary / Secondary Action — choose the default snippet actions (paste, copy, copy as markdown, open, details).
  • Result Ranking — rank by usage (frecency) or recency.
  • List Accessories — toggle workspace / language in the list.
  • Hub Analytics — opt out of anonymous Hub view/import events.
  • Helper Path — override the auto-detected snipper-mcp path (rarely needed).
