In simplicity there can be elegance. Yes, this utility only deals with text, but it deals with html, rtf, plain text, clippings and more. That's right, those read only clippings you may have saved over time but are frustrated by being locked to text copying, are entirely editable in Znippets.

But, that isn't the main thing by any means. If you spot a bit of text in virtually any window you want to file away but don't want to break your concentration, Znippets will capture it for you with a keystroke, then you can go into it later and rename, organize and edit whatever you've snipped.

Alternately, if there are phrases or any string of text you routinely use, whether it be e-mail signatures (alas except in Apple's Mail due to an Apple bug) or standard clauses in invoices, form letters, even legal documents, again a quick keystroke with file name will pull the desired string out of Znippets and into the program you're working with. No muss no fuss, auto-saving, format retention, easy re-categorization and organization in a flash.

And, it saves in a format openable by other programs if necessary and creates auto-backups. It is not bloatware; Xnippets is easy on memory and CPU resources.

For a researcher, busy entrepreneur or creative writer, Xnippets can become the centerpiece in maintaining a creative, productive and focused flow; you stay with your work and Xnippets is like a full-time servant filing or handing you what you need instantly as you need it. It re-pays for its paltry $18 fee within hours. Get it.
