Snippets manager for 60 languages, prompts and RegEx. Organise snippets and enhance them with LaTeX, placeholders, abbreviations and flow diagrams. Use integrated AI to find and document snippets. Run and preview them. Access using side window and Suggestions.
I have created CodeMenu to do what other snippets managers can't. Many snippets managers tend to focus on storing and organising snippets. CodeMenu takes this idea and extends it. It allows you to quickly access snippets from anywhere you want, It contains obvious features like sorting, but it also offers many other useful features, like integrated AI, side window, Suggestions, flow diagrams, LaTeX, natural language search, placeholders and abbreviations that will help you while coding.
- Side window and Suggestions
CodeMenu gives you a quick access to snippets from wherever you are. You can use side window which allows you to retrieve snippets by dragging and dropping and also gives you access to Snippets Store - an online database of code snippets - and AI. You can also use a separated Suggestions app which syncs with CodeMenu and can be accessed directly from a code editor by typing §§and then your query. You can also use abbreviations and type § and abbreviation which will get replaced with the appropriate snippets.
- Extendebility
CodeMenu has two features that allow you to extend CodeMenu's capabilities: automations and server API (documentation coming soon). Automations make it possible for you to write functions that will perform actions on snippets and the optional server API makes it simpler for other apps to access snippets from CodeMenu.
- Integrated AI
CodeMenu can search snippets using natural language, so you can find necessary snippets faster. It can also translate code between languages and generate titles and descriptions for snippets using AI (model needs to be downloaded). You can also use OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude and a on-device model (if downloaded) directly from a handy side window.
- Flow diagrams and LaTeX
CodeMenu allows you to use LaTeX in snippet descriptions. You can also use flow diagrams to document the snippets.
- Placeholders
You can use placeholders in snippets to make them more reusable. You can use standard, which are replaced with text, date and time, which are replaced with either date or time, and shell, which are replaced by a result of a shell command, placeholders. In side window you can temporarily prefill placeholders.
- Library generation
You can generate single file libraries from snippets with specified tag, group or language. You can the use them inside your projects.
- Code running and preview
You can run snippet's code directly from CodeMenu to test them. You can also run prompts, which combined with placeholders, allows you to store prompts and use them more efficiently. You can also preview HTML snippets.
- Utilities
CodeMenu contains many useful utilities like code image generator, editor for quick code tests, coders (SHA,Base64, URL encoding), RegEx tester, generators of things like UUID, lorem ipsum and mockup data (emails, addresses, etc), code translator and converters between number systems.

Who hunted CodeMenu?
CodeMenu was hunted by Wiktor Wójcik. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
