Code Collector Pro

Snippets++;

Requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or higher

Welcome to the snippet revolution

When you spend all day writing code, it is only natural to start having feelings of déjà vu. Didn't you write that same few lines of code a few days ago, and again a few days before that? Why are you wasting time re-writing that code again and again?

Code Collector Pro is the answer, giving you the ability to store snippets of code and retrieve them with a few keystrokes

… a simple but effective tool that will appeal to all code creators

Organise

A large library of snippets can be hard to manage, so Code Collector Pro provides you with powerful tools to organise your snippets. Collect snippets into groups or have Code Collector Pro do it for you with smart groups. Tag your snippets to make searching easier and add descriptions and the source for teh snippet, so you know where it came from and how to use it.

Add description and source information for snippets
Create new snippets from selected text in any app
Drag files to your library to add them as snippets

Use

Snippets are kind of useless if they just sit there all day, collecting dust. Code Collector Pro sets your snippets free, allowing you to access and insert them into your favourite text editor with just a few keystrokes. Or if you're a more mouse driven person, you can drag and drop snippets from Code Collector Pro to anywhere on your Mac.

What is a snippet?

A snippet is a small reusable part of code. It could be anything from a single line to a skeleton for an entire file.

What people are saying

Nice, simple, straighforward, uncluttered and (above all) does what it is supposed to.

It has saved me a lot of time and I hope that it will do the same for you.
