Best Snip Alternatives - 2025

Paste is a time machine for your clipboard that lets you instantly find anything you've ever copied and use it whenever you need it again.

I write help centre guides for a software company. Our articles are available in ten different languages, and we use DeepL for some of the localisation work. That means there is a LOT of copying and pasting, which is much smoother with Paste. I've especially found Paste Stack (activate with Shift + Command + C) to be handy for copying text, images, and links from different pages into Intercom (where the articles are stored). Because it's so affordable (and useful), I've recommended Paste to multiple colleagues. My advice has been "It's so cheap, just charge it to your company credit card. It'll save you a decent amount of time and your finance team won't even notice". So far, so good!

Gisto is a Cross-platform gist snippets management desktop application that allows you and your team share code snippets fast and easily.

I have been looking for an app that I could basically use as a client to Gists to use as code snippets. I've looked at Cacher and some other options, most have extremely limited free tiers or are generally a bit clunky.

I love the interface in Gisto. I opened it up, logged in (the app integrated Github 2FA natively, which worked for me while the "Login with Github" via github popup site failed; bad redirect?), and immediately had my existing gists loaded up. Flipped through them in the editor. Code only files load as editable code right away; Markdown and other text loads as preview. In edit mode, markdown edits with the live preview side by side. Love the home screen with tiles and stats on languages and public/private etc. Lots of good drop down options to go back to web, copy content, integrate with external sites.

Is there a plan to monetize this? Also tiny note, looks like the burger menu in the top left corner doesn't do anything (not sure what it *should* do). Great work!
