Snipvault on Web Browser
Runs in any modern browser — nothing to install, works the same on any machine you log in from.
Setup on Web Browser
Download the installer
Download the latest Snipvault installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/snipvault-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Snipvault runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Snipvault is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Snipvault on Web Browser — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/snipvault-mvp, always. $49 buys the packaged installer and lifetime updates for people who'd rather click an installer than run docker compose.
How good is the search really?
Two engines merged: instant client-side fuzzy matching over titles, descriptions, filenames and tags, plus server-side SQLite FTS5 over actual file content — with content-only matches clearly labeled so you know why a result appeared.
