SnipVault is a powerful VS Code extension that transforms how you save, search, and reuse code snippets.
Unlike other tools, SnipVault also stores source context (file path and line numbers), letting you jump back to the original code instantly.
Build a personal, searchable, and context-rich library right inside your editor — and finally stop managing code in random text files.
The Complete Workflow
One animation showing everything: saving with context, organizing vaults, searching, inserting, and jumping to the source.
