What SafeScript is

SafeScript stores and organizes source code snippets in a searchable library. Its syntax-aware editor includes line numbers, and each snippet can have its own notes. The maker says snippet data stays in a local SQLite database, so a cloud account is not required. SafeScript is available for Linux and macOS, with some features differing by version. Linux supports folders that can be reordered by dragging, plus dark and light display modes. That version is free and open source under the MIT License, distributed as a Flatpak. The Mac version is built with Swift and SwiftUI and provides real-time search, syntax-aware editing, line numbers, and local SQLite storage. It costs $7.99, paid once through the Mac App Store and requires macOS 15.2 or later. The Mac App Store listing says the developer indicated that the app does not collect data. The maker identifies Thomas J. Allen as SafeScript’s designer and programmer.
