Opening the Snipwell panel
Click the Snipwell icon in Chrome's toolbar. If you don't see it, click the puzzle-piece icon and pin Snipwell so it stays visible. You can also use the keyboard shortcut if one is set: Alt+Shift+S by default, Option+Shift+S on Mac. Change it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Activating your license
- Open the Snipwell panel and click Enter license at the bottom.
- Paste the license key from your purchase email and click Activate.
Activation needs an internet connection once. After that the license is checked on your computer and nothing is sent anywhere.
Can't find your license key
It is in the purchase email from Lemon Squeezy, which handles Snipwell's checkout; search your inbox and spam folder for "Snipwell". You can also look it up at app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders with the email address you bought with. Still stuck? Email us from that address.
New computer, reinstall, or another Chrome profile
Use the same key. There is no limit on reinstalls or on the computers you use yourself. If Chrome sync is on, another profile signed in to the same Google account picks up the license on its own.
Your snippets stay on the computer they were made on. To move them, export them (Dashboard or Settings, Export) and import the file on the other computer.
Before you uninstall, export your snippets. Chrome deletes an extension's stored data when it is removed.
A shortcut doesn't expand
- Check that Pause everywhere is off in the panel, and that the site isn't turned off there or under Settings, Disabled sites.
- Type the shortcut on its own, then a space or Enter (or whatever Settings has as the trigger).
- Chrome doesn't let extensions run on its own pages, such as
chrome://pages and the Chrome Web Store. - If your free trial has ended, shortcuts pause until you activate. Your snippets are safe, and viewing, editing and export keep working.
- In Discord, multi-line snippets arrive on one line, and plain-text editors receive snippets without formatting.
Refunds
If Snipwell isn't right for you, email info@snipwell.fyi within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. See the terms of use.
Privacy
Your snippets never leave your computer. There is no account and no analytics. The only request to a server of Snipwell's own is the one-time license activation. Read the privacy policy.
