Security
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
Plaintext never reaches our servers. Encryption happens entirely on the client. Security is not an opt-in, it's the standard.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does SnipHive's zero-knowledge encryption work?
All encryption happens in your browser or IDE before data ever reaches our servers. We use AES-256-GCM encryption with keys derived from your master password. This means we store only encrypted blobs—we literally cannot read your content, not even if requested by law enforcement.
Which IDE extensions are available for SnipHive?
SnipHive offers official extensions for VS Code (use ⌘ + ⇧ + S to share) and JetBrains IDEs including PhpStorm, WebStorm, and IntelliJ IDEA. We also provide a CLI tool for terminal workflows and a web interface for browser access.
Is SnipHive free to use?
Yes, SnipHive offers a generous free tier with end-to-end encryption included. Free users get unlimited public snippets and a quota of private encrypted snippets. Paid plans offer increased storage, team collaboration features, and priority support.
How is SnipHive different from GitHub Gist or Pastebin?
Unlike GitHub Gist or Pastebin which store code in plaintext, SnipHive encrypts everything client-side before transmission. We can't see your code, we can't analyze it, and we can't share it with third parties. Plus, SnipHive is designed for developer workflows with IDE integrations and team collaboration features.
Does SnipHive work offline?
Yes! SnipHive has offline support—you can create and edit snippets while disconnected. Changes are stored locally and automatically synced to the server when you reconnect. This ensures your workflow isn't interrupted by network issues.
Can I share snippets with people who don't use SnipHive?
Yes, you can generate shareable links for any snippet. Public snippets are accessible to anyone with the link. For private sharing, recipients will need a SnipHive account and appropriate permissions to decrypt and view the content.
What is SnipHive?
SnipHive is a zero-knowledge code snippet and note management platform designed specifically for developers and engineering teams. Unlike traditional paste services that store code in plaintext on their servers, SnipHive uses AES-256-GCM end-to-end encryption that occurs entirely on the client device—meaning plaintext data never reaches SnipHive servers.
The platform combines snippet storage, markdown notes, and team collaboration tools in a unified workspace. Key features include IDE integrations for VS Code and JetBrains (PhpStorm, WebStorm, IntelliJ), a command-line interface for terminal workflows, realtime synchronization with offline support, and granular workspace permissions for team management. SnipHive operates on a "privacy by default" philosophy where security is not an opt-in feature but the foundational architecture.
