• Permanent offline storage. Saves complete copies of web pages, images, videos, and documents on your device. The content remains accessible without an internet connection and is preserved even if the original source disappears.
• Import from multiple sources. Supports importing from Evernote exports, SingleFile files, local captures, and formats such as PDF, images, and videos. No constant connection is required to access the stored content.
• Algorithmic discovery system. Displays saved content based on ratings, votes, and viewing frequency. The algorithm prioritizes showing relevant material without due dates, unlike traditional spaced repetition systems.
• Hierarchical organization. Uses notebooks and tags to classify content, allowing multiple levels of organization. The structure makes it easier to search for and retrieve specific items.
• Integrated viewing. Displays content directly in the application without requiring external software. Supports rendering of full HTML, images, embedded videos, and PDF documents.
• Guaranteed privacy. All data is stored locally with no collection of personal information. The only external connections are for software updates and for viewing YouTube videos.
• Web format compatibility. Imports and faithfully reproduces complex HTML content, including CSS styles and original structure. Preserves the visual appearance of captured pages.
• Rating system. Lets you assign scores and votes to each stored item. These metrics influence how often the content appears in discovery mode.
• SingleFile integration. Works alongside the SingleFile extension to capture complete web pages with all their resources embedded in a single file.
• No subscriptions or payments. The application is completely free and open source, with no plans to implement subscription-based business models.

Snippet Curator was created as a personal alternative to Evernote and Anki, with development starting in 2020. It arose from the need for a permanent archive system for web content without the limitations of traditional spaced repetition systems. It is developed mainly in JavaScript, using the Electron framework for the desktop version. The creator maintains the application as a personal project, prioritizing offline functionality and user privacy over commercial features.
