FolderSnippets does not collect, send, or store any personal data or usage data.
What the app does
- Works entirely on your PC. No telemetry, analytics, or background network calls.
- Reads files only from the folder you choose so you can search and paste snippets.
- Temporarily places selected text on your clipboard to paste into the active app, then restores your previous clipboard contents.
- Optionally registers a global hotkey and can start with Windows (if you enable it).
Data storage
- Settings are saved locally at:
%AppData%/FolderSnippets/settings.json. - No cloud sync, no remote servers, no third‑party tracking.
Network
- None required. The only time a browser may open is if you click the GitHub link in the About window.
AutoHotkey.Interop
- Used locally to simulate Ctrl+V for reliable pasting. It does not transmit data.
