About The Way
The Way stores snippets with descriptions, languages, and tags, then finds them with fuzzy search and optional language or tag filters. Its interactive search lets you edit, delete, or copy snippets to the clipboard.
It runs on macOS and Linux, and can be used on Android through Termux with Termux:API. The README says it does not currently work on Windows.
