Your Developer Knowledge Base
Log the rough idea, the UI draft, the API call, and the release notes inside a single knowledge base so you always know how a feature came together.
Save feedback, naming ideas, AI drafts, and flows per project so planning notes live beside the implementation.
Keep visuals next to the notes and prompts that shaped them, and link related artifacts so every draft pulls from the same knowledge base.
Turn artifacts into templates, run JavaScript helpers or HTTP calls, and share highlights to Snippex so your knowledge base keeps leveling up.
CodeMenu speaks your language. The most versatile snippet manager for any technology.
The Workflow
Don't lose the thought. Save code, prompts, and screenshots instantly with global shortcuts.
Connect the dots. Link related artifacts, add tags, and build a graph of your project's context.
Speed up. Use your stored snippets to generate boilerplate, run scripts, and ship faster.
Keep artifacts, migration scripts, API payloads, shell logs, and fix notes anchored to one knowledge base.
Save prompts, canned replies, automation notes, and checklists so your AI playbooks live inside the same knowledge base. To let the Suggestions AI securely query your library, run the optional MCP server (github.com/Extiri/codemenu-mcp).
Pin palettes, layout decisions, research notes, and annotated screenshots next to the code that uses them.
Record onboarding steps, launch plans, personal SOPs, and meeting notes with links and offline search.
Log early thoughts, shell history, interviews, prompts, and sketches as they happen so they land in the knowledge base, not an inbox.
Pull up the prompt, clause, or migration script you need with abbreviations, side window, the Suggestions app, and fast search. Optionally run the MCP server (github.com/Extiri/codemenu-mcp) — it enables only the Suggestions AI to search and retrieve snippets from your workspace.
Work faster with bundled editors, converters, mock data generators, a RegEx tester, and a code-to-image creator.
| Capability | Typical artifact manager | CodeMenu |
|---|---|---|
| Artifacts stored | Code and text-only artifacts | Code, prompts, screenshots, palettes, flow diagrams, docs, research notes, and linked automations |
| Context + relationships | Tags or folders | Graph view, graph links, semantic search, custom metadata, and connected workflows |
| Automation | Limited artifact expansion | Runnable JavaScript, HTTP triggers, dynamic placeholders, abbreviations |
| Privacy & control | Cloud-first, limited export | Offline-first, local workspace, export to JSON |
CodeMenu is a next-generation snippet manager and developer knowledge base. It keeps code, prompts, visuals, research, and decisions together so your context and execution stay side by side.
Save artifacts, API payloads, prompts, UX research, screenshots, PDFs, diagrams, and even audio or video references. Add Markdown notes, custom metadata, tags, and graph links.
Your library lives on your Mac and works offline by default. Publish curated spaces through Snippex—Extiri’s gallery—or enable the optional HTTP server when you want to share.
Yes. Trigger JavaScript transforms, run shell commands, call HTTP endpoints, and use dynamic placeholders to generate content on the fly.
