Quiver is a note-taking app built for programmers. Its unique cell-based design lets you easily mix text and code within one note, edit code with an awesome code editor, and find any note instantly via the full-text search.

Features

• Mix Text With Code - A note in Quiver is comprised of cells --- snippets of text or code. You can freely mix text cells with code cells, even setting different language modes for different code cells, all inside one note.
• Edit In Place - Whether you are writing code or changing text styles, edits are always made in-place. There is no mode switching in Quiver. You just click where you want to edit and start typing.
• An Awesome Code Editor - The programmer's notebook should make code editing effortless. Quiver packs the awesome ACE code editor in code cells, which supports syntax highlighting for most languages, over 20 themes, automatic indent and outdent, and much more.
• Lightning-Fast Full-Text Search - Notes are only useful if you can find them quickly. Quiver's full-text search is based on Search Kit, the same technology used to power Spotlight on your mac. That's how Quiver can search through thousands of notes in a blink of an eye.
• Tags - If organizing notes into notebooks isn't enough for you, Quiver also lets you assign tags to each note, so you can manage your notes any way you like.
• Autosave - Quiver automatically saves all your changes as you work, so you never need to worry about losing changes.
• Plain JSON - Quiver saves your notes in the plain JSON format, so you have full control over your content. You can export a note in the JSON or HTML format, or print it to PDF.

Version 3.1.3:

• Added support to create a sub notebook more easily: just right click on a notebook, then select "New Notebook…" from the contextual menu.
• Added "Copy Note as…" options to the main menu
• Fixed an exception that occasionally cause the app to display no notes upon launch
• Fixed an issue with loading remote images whose mime types are not set properly

I tried at least five code snippet apps, including Dash, CodeBox, Snippets, and a few others. Quiver is the one I ended up buying. I find it to be excellent, and very well priced.
It has a few bugs, and a few missing features (which the developer told me he planned to implement, but that was over a year ago, so I won't hold my breath). The primary bug is that bothers me is that it does not maintain the window state between sessions. So the width of the sidebar reverts back to one that is not wide enough for my liking, each time I quit and start the app. There has been no update since June 2016, so I am starting to think this app may have been abandoned. That would be a pity, if it's true.
The feature I would like to see, which the developer said he was working on, is a better (more automated) way of capturing snippets from web pages, and of handling the pasting of code and text into a snippet. Ideally, such that pasting code and text will automatically break the content into text and code cells accordingly.
I highly recommend this app.
