Snippet Vault

Save, tag, and reuse code snippets across every project — searchable from a sidebar, with no cloud account, sign-in, or server required.

Snippet Vault in action — save, browse, and insert snippets without leaving your editor:

Snippet Vault demo

Save any selection as a snippet, with a title and optional comma-separated tags.
Global storage — snippets aren't tied to a workspace. Save something in one project, insert it in any other.
Sidebar tree, grouped by tag, with an "Untagged" group for anything without one.
Fuzzy search — run "Snippet Vault: Find Snippet" and filter by title, language, or tag, then insert directly.
One-click insert — click any snippet in the sidebar to insert it at your cursor (or replace the current selection).
Copy to clipboard without inserting, when you just need it elsewhere.
New Snippet from Clipboard — paste something from outside VS Code straight into your vault.
Export/Import as JSON — back up your snippets or move them to another machine.

Select some code in the editor, right-click → "Snippet Vault: Save Selection as Snippet" (or use the Command Palette / the + button in the sidebar's title bar).
Give it a title and optional tags.
Open the Snippet Vault icon in the Activity Bar to browse by tag, or run "Snippet Vault: Find Snippet" from the Command Palette to search and insert in one step.
Click a snippet to insert it, or right-click for Insert / Copy / Delete.

None — Snippet Vault only uses VS Code's built-in APIs and its global storage. No network access, no account.

Snippets are plain text with a language tag for syntax highlighting on insert/preview — there's no support for tabstop/placeholder syntax like VS Code's built-in User Snippets.
Storage is per VS Code installation's global state; syncing across machines is via manual Export/Import (Settings Sync may also carry it along automatically, depending on your VS Code configuration).
