Snipext - Private Clip and Tag

Snipext lets you save any text from any webpage in one click. Everything is stored privately in your browser — no account, no server, no subscription required. Sync and export are entirely opt-in and use your own credentials.

Built for student, teachers, researchers, engineers, developers, and anyone who values privacy.

📌 Capture
- Select text on any page and click ✂ Snip to save it instantly
- Prefer right-click? Switch to context-menu mode in Settings and skip the overlay
- Add snippets manually — type or paste text directly into the panel, no page highlight needed

🏷️ Organise
- Add tags to any snippet and filter by them in the side panel
- AND / OR tag filtering — when multiple tags are selected, toggle between "must match all" and "match any"
- Tag autocomplete — existing tags are suggested as you type; hit Tab to accept and keep adding
- A pinned Manual Entry filter lets you instantly separate hand-typed notes from web highlights
- Edit the text of any saved snippet directly on the card

📤 Export
- Copy any snippet as Markdown (blockquote format) in one click
- Export all snippets as a single `.md` file
- Full JSON export and import with smart merge — no duplicates, no data loss

🔮 Obsidian integration (optional)
- Send any highlight to your Obsidian vault with one click — no plugin required
- Configurable vault name, target note, and Markdown template
- Daily Notes support via `{{date}}` in the note path
- Option to create a new note per highlight, named after the page title

☁️ GitHub Gist sync (optional)
- Push your highlights to a private GitHub Gist using your own Personal Access Token
- Pull from any device and merge — local-only highlights are never overwritten
- Soft delete with propagation — deletions sync across devices; purge permanently whenever you're ready
- Sync status at a glance: 🟠 local · 🟢 synced · ⚠️ modified

🔒 Privacy first
All data lives in your browser's IndexedDB. Nothing leaves your machine unless you explicitly set up Gist sync. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party services of any kind.
