Lepton
A lean, cross-platform desktop app for managing code snippets using GitHub Gist.
What is Lepton?
Lepton is a free, open-source desktop application that helps developers manage their code snippets by syncing with GitHub Gist. It provides a clean, organized interface for creating, editing, searching, and categorizing snippets across multiple programming languages and formats like Markdown and Jupyter Notebook. The tool solves the problem of scattered, hard-to-find code fragments by centralizing them in a searchable, cross-platform manager.
Developers and technical writers who frequently reuse code blocks, need to organize personal or team snippets, and already use GitHub for version control. It's especially useful for those working across multiple machines or operating systems.
Developers choose Lepton for its tight integration with GitHub Gist, ensuring snippets are backed up and accessible anywhere. Its lean, customizable interface, support for multiple formats, and zero-cost model make it a compelling alternative to paid or less flexible snippet managers.
