Free Tier Update: All Features Unlocked + Fill Form Variables

We have two announcements today: the Snip-Its free tier now includes every feature, and we are introducing a new feature called Fill Form variables.

All Features, Now Free

When we launched Snip-Its, some features were reserved for Premium users - advanced variables, custom Python variables, custom JavaScript variables. That changes today. Every feature in Snip-Its is now available on the free tier.

The only difference between Free and Premium is the snip-it limit. Free users get 5 snip-its. Premium users get unlimited snip-its. That is it. No feature gates, no artificial walls. If a feature exists in Snip-Its, you can use it.

We made this change because we want every user to experience the full power of Snip-Its before deciding whether they need more snip-its. Five snip-its with every feature unlocked is a better introduction than unlimited snip-its with half the functionality locked away.

What Free Tier Now Includes

• 5 snip-its
• Text expansion with customizable triggers
• Advanced variables (date, time, clipboard, cursor, and more)
• Custom Python variables
• Custom JavaScript variables
• Fill Form variables (new - see below)
• Windows and macOS support
• Local storage - all data on your device
• No account required
• Free updates

Introducing Fill Form Variables

Fill Form is a new variable type that turns your snip-its into interactive templates. Instead of expanding a snip-it with fixed text, Fill Form variables prompt you to fill in fields before the snip-it is inserted.

Think of it as a fill-in-the-blank form that appears when your snippet triggers. You type your answers, press Enter, and the completed text is inserted wherever you are typing.

How It Works

Add a Fill Form variable to any snippet using the {{input:field_name}} syntax. When the snippet triggers, a form dialog appears with input fields for each variable. Fill in the fields and the completed text is inserted.

Example snippet body:

Hi {{input:name}},

Thank you for contacting us about {{input:topic}}. I have assigned this to {{input:agent}} and you can expect a response within {{input:timeframe}}.

Best regards,
Support Team

When this snippet triggers, a form appears with four fields: name, topic, agent, and timeframe. Fill them in and the completed email is inserted instantly.

Use Cases

• Customer support replies - standardized responses with personalized details
• Meeting notes templates - fill in attendees, date, and action items
• Code scaffolding - function names, parameters, and return types as form fields
• Email templates - recipient name, subject details, and custom paragraphs
• Invoice generation - client name, amount, due date, and description

Combining with Other Variables

Fill Form variables work alongside all other variable types. You can combine form fields with date variables, clipboard content, custom Python or JavaScript variables, and more in the same snippet.

Meeting Notes  - {{date}} {{time}}
Attendees: {{input:attendees}}
Topic: {{input:topic}}
Action Items: {{input:action_items}}
Next Meeting: {{input:next_date}}

Why We Made This Change

Text expansion gets more useful the more you invest in it. Locking features behind a paywall meant free users could not experience what makes Snip-Its different from other tools. Now every user, free or Premium, gets the same experience. When you hit the 5 snip-it limit and want more, Premium is there at $2/month billed annually.
