CodeBox
CodeBox is a lightweight code editor and snippet manager for macOS, designed for developers who need a quick way to store, organize, and access code snippets, templates, and text fragments. It supports multiple programming languages with syntax highlighting, provides search and tagging functionality, and integrates with the system clipboard for fast snippet insertion. The app sits in the menu bar for convenient access during development work.

1 suggestionCodeBox has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer supported or maintained. The app will not receive updates or bugfixes going forward. According to available records, the last release shipped as a macOS version built with Catalyst and included a universal binary capable of running natively on Apple Silicon, but since development has stopped, any remaining Intel fallback code path will cease to function when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027). If you currently use CodeBox, you should begin migrating your snippet library and workflows to an actively maintained alternative. Modern snippet managers like Snip, PopClip with snippet support, or code-editor integrated snippet features (in Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, or Sublime Text) are all under active development and offer native Apple Silicon support. Exporting your CodeBox snippets to a plain-text format or JSON file now will make the transition smoother.
