A native Windows desktop app for managing parameterised CLI command snippets ("Snips"), organised by the CLI they belong to. Browse a CLI, pick a Snip, fill its arguments, and copy the resolved command to the clipboard — or run it in place and watch it live, with a clean, searchable run history.
Snipdeck is conceptually inspired by
SnipCommand, with one defining difference:
the CLI is the top-level organising axis. Every Snip belongs to exactly one CLI
(for example pl-app, mpt-app, inv-app), so your snippets stay grouped by the tool
they drive instead of living in one flat list.
- Organise by CLI. Group Snips under the CLI they belong to, each with its own icon, description and shared parameters.
-
Parameterise commands. Templates use simple
{token}placeholders; parameters are structured (free Text or a Choice dropdown) with optional defaults. - Copy a resolved command to the clipboard via a fill-in flyout with a live preview.
- Run a command in its configured shell and watch it live in an embedded terminal with full fidelity — colours, spinners, progress bars and interactive prompts all work.
- Keep a clean run history — every run is recorded as searchable, ANSI-free plain text plus its command, time, duration and exit code; reopen one to replay it in colour or run it again.
- Stay out of the way. A global hotkey summons the window; the app lives in the system tray; light/dark/system theming with Mica on Windows 11.
- Installation and Updates — download, install and keep Snipdeck up to date.
