Official Raycast extension

Paste from your library, wherever you type

The official SnipperApp extension for Raycast puts your code library behind the launcher you already use. Search, paste, and capture snippets without opening the app. No login, no config file, no Full Disk Access prompt.

Raycast root search listing the SnipperApp commands: Create Snippet, Ask SnipperApp, Browse Trending, Paste Last Snippet, Recent Snippets, Save Clipboard as Snippet, Save Selection as Snippet, Search Hub, and Search Snippets

Nine SnipperApp commands plus the Ask SnipperApp AI extension, straight from Raycast root search.

Search and paste snippets from Raycast

Enter pastes into the app you came from. ⌘K holds Copy as Markdown, Open in SnipperApp, and Favorites.

Capture without opening the app

Save Clipboard as Snippet or Save Selection as Snippet. Give either a Raycast hotkey and capture is one keystroke.

The Hub, inside Raycast

Search Hub and Browse Trending need no account and work even before the app is installed.

Ask Raycast AI

@snipperapp searches, reads, and creates snippets through four AI tools. Requires Raycast Pro.
