Snippet vs mrkdwn

The replies you send over and over live on a keyboard of their own, inside any app. The slow part was never writing them — it was copying their name and order number out of each message by hand. Snippet reads those out for you. ON EVERY DEVICE Write a reply on your Mac and it is on your phone before you pick it up. Your snippets, your categories, and your colors sync through your own iCloud account. No sign-up, no separate subscription, and nothing to restore by hand on a new device. THE KEYBOARD Save a reply once. Then, in Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, or anywhere else, switch to the Snippet keyboard and tap it in. No app switching, no copy and paste, and no losing your place in the conversation. SMART FILL Select the message you just received, tap Share ▸ Snippet, and pick one of your templates. Snippet reads that message and fills every {{field}} in your reply from it — the name, the date, the order number, the address. It never makes anything up. A value is used only if it actually appears in the message you selected; anything Snippet cannot find is left blank for you to complete. The message is held for that moment only and is never saved. In practice: their message says "this is Maya Levi, my order is #4471". You pick your shipping-update template, and the reply comes back with the name and the order number already in it, ready to send. Clients, customers, candidates, bookings: the same handful of questions, all day. CATEGORIES, ASSIGNED FOR YOU Other snippet apps hand you empty folders. Snippet reads each new snippet as you save it and files it into a colored category on its own, on your device. A genuinely new topic goes to "Other" instead of being forced into the wrong place. Nothing is uploaded, and it works offline. ON YOUR MAC Grab selected text from any app with a keyboard shortcut, and paste a snippet straight back. EVERYTHING ELSE • Pin the snippets you reach for most, and they sit at the top of the keyboard • Write {{date}} or {{time}} in a snippet and it fills itself in when you use it • Share extension — save selected text as a snippet, or run Smart Fill on it • Instant search in any language, ignoring case and accents • Categories you can rename and merge • Title and tag suggestions while you write • Lock a category behind Face ID or Touch ID, so what is in it stays private FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME PRO UPGRADE The keyboard, iCloud sync, automatic categorization, search, capture, and the Share extension are free. Pro adds Smart Fill, category encryption, and unlimited snippets — one purchase, not a subscription, covering Mac and iPhone together. Snippet has no advertising and no analytics. The automatic categorization, Smart Fill, and title suggestions run on Apple Intelligence and need a supported device on iOS 26 or macOS 26. Everything else works on iOS 17 and macOS 14 or later: the keyboard, sync, search, capture and encryption.

mrkdwn is more than a markdown editor. It is a private place to think, and it keeps every note as an ordinary .md file in a folder you choose. Other note apps ask you to trust a database. This one writes plain text to disk, where Finder, git, grep and any editor you ever switch to can already read it. No account. No subscription. No analytics — mrkdwn collects nothing and sends nothing. NOTES THAT STAY YOURS • Every note is a plain .md file in a folder you picked, not a row in our database • Edit one in another app and mrkdwn picks up the change • The same files open in any other editor, today or in ten years • Lock a note and it is encrypted on disk until you unlock it • iCloud sync merges three ways and marks conflicts, instead of overwriting the older copy • Version history keeps 30 days or 100 versions per note, with word-level diffs and a restore that leaves the current draft intact • Deleted notes go to a trash you can recover from NOTES THAT FIND EACH OTHER • Wiki-style [[links]] resolve as you type • A backlinks panel shows every note pointing at this one • The knowledge graph draws the whole library, filtered by tag or search • Tag a note, then open the tag to read everything filed under it • Quick Open fuzzy-finds any note in a keystroke • Link autocomplete the moment you type [[ • Daily notes arrive dated, every day you write MARKDOWN THAT RENDERS PROPERLY • CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown, with footnotes and callouts • LaTeX math, inline and block, rendered offline • Syntax highlighting for more than 180 languages • Six built-in themes, and you can make your own • Mermaid, Graphviz and Markmap diagrams from ordinary code blocks A SURFACE BUILT FOR DRAFTING • Focus mode fades every paragraph except the one you are writing • Read as editor only, preview only, or both side by side • Typewriter scrolling holds your line in the middle of the screen • Live counts for words, characters, sentences and reading time • Put the command bar in the order you actually work in • Give a folder an icon, a color, and a place at the top of the list • Writing goals track a daily word target and your streak • Authorship marks which passages you typed and which you pasted • Apple's Writing Tools work in the editor, where your device offers them NOTES THAT COME TO YOU • Ask Siri for today's note; find, append and read notes from Shortcuts • Paste a URL and the article comes back as markdown • Clip a page straight from Safari (Mac) • Import from 19 formats, including PDF, PowerPoint, Excel and text read out of images SEE THE SHAPE OF A SENTENCE • Color nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and conjunctions as you type • Style checks flag filler, hedging, repetition and passive voice • Nothing is corrected for you — a flag is information, not an instruction • Every highlight stays off until you switch it on LEAVE WHENEVER YOU LIKE • Export to PDF, EPUB, HTML, RTF, plain text and markdown • Word and OpenDocument export, and Word import (Mac) • Everything works offline, apart from fetching a web page you paste • Or copy the folder and go — the notes were never ours Native on Mac, iPad and iPhone, from one Swift core rather than a web page in a window. A knowledge base you own, for students, teachers, authors, and anyone who would rather keep their thinking in plain files than rent a notes app. Questions? www.buenalabs.io/support
