Fast iPhone Clipboard Manager – Snippets!

Posted July 9th, 2009 in Uncategorized by erich

My iPhone app “Snippets” went out a few days ago, and I was lucky enough to get a mention in TUAW, The Unofficial Apple Weblog!

A nice quote from the article:

“The canned responses included with Snippets are worth its price of $.99 alone, in this blogger’s opinion. But even if you are wittier than I and appreciate original pieces of text, Snippets is a great app with a very easy-to-use interface that I plan to use again and again.”

Thanks, Kevin Harter, for an excellent write-up!

Some people have asked why you would want to use Snippets instead of just the built-in iPhone Notes app…  Well, Snippets has categories, comes with a slew of premade snippets to use for inspiration, and it’s fast because you just have to look at a snippet and it’s automatically copied to the clipboard, instead of doing a double-tap, select button, drag and drag the sliders and then the copy button.  With Snippets it’s 2 taps and you’ve got a snippet copied to the clipboard!  (Not counting launching the app) :-)

    Hi.

    A small change request?

    How about implement the possibility to rename a category – not only delete.

    hey, erich,

    thanks for snippets!

    i, too, would like to be able to (a) rename categories and (b) change the order of snippets by dragging them (like the favorite contacts in the iphone). sorting alphabetically is not always best. :-)

    finally, i wish we had the option to *name* our snippets. here’s why:

    lately i’ve been using snippets for URLs that i often need to send to people. it would be a perfect solution, except they all look alike (e.g., http://tinyurl.com/abcde)! so, there’s no way to distinguish one from the other. if we simply had the option to *name* snippets, i could tell one from the other.

    how about an update soon? :-)
