Overview

Cacher is a code snippet manager for people who want to save, organize and reuse pieces of code, either on their own or with a team. Snippets are stored online and can be reached through the web app and desktop clients, with cross-device sync listed among its capabilities. Organization is based on color-coded labels: a snippet can have more than one, allowing code to be grouped under multiple labels.

Private snippets are not indexed by search engines and cannot be accessed publicly by default. Teams can collaborate using shared libraries. Cacher also connects to existing coding workflows through GitHub Gist syncing, editor extensions, a browser extension and Slack. Its Run Server can execute snippet code using the shell on the local machine.

The listed platforms are extension, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Version history and Markdown notes are also listed. For buyers, the main distinction is between a small free allowance for private snippets and paid plans that expand limits or add team and self-hosted options.

Key features

Labels: Apply one or more color-coded labels to a snippet for organization.
Shared libraries: Team members can collaborate on snippets in a shared library.
GitHub Gist sync: Cacher supports two-way syncing with GitHub Gist.
VS Code extension: Create snippets from editor text and insert snippets from Cacher libraries.
Slack integration: Create snippets from messages, preview Cacher links and receive team activity notifications.
Browser extension: The Chrome and Firefox extension saves code examples from webpages.
Local execution: The Cacher Run Server runs snippet code using the local machine’s shell.
Markdown and attachments: The pricing page describes Markdown editing with live preview and file and image uploads. Attachment size limits depend on the plan.
Privacy controls: Private snippets are not indexed by search engines or publicly accessible by default.

Pricing

Cacher is freemium, with a free plan, paid plans and a 14-day trial. Prices below are listed in USD; paid monthly rates are billed annually.

Plan	Price	Included limits and features
Free	0.00 USD per free	15 private snippets, 3 private labels, unlimited public snippets, 10 MB attachments and 50 MB/month uploads
Expert	9.99 USD per month (billed annually)	Unlimited private snippets and labels, unlimited public snippets, 50 MB attachments and unlimited uploads
Teams	29.99 USD per month (billed annually)	First 5 seats; $8/month per extra seat; unlimited private snippets and labels, 100 MB attachments, shared team libraries, code reviews, role management and centralized billing
Self-hosted Cacher	5000.00 USD per year (billed annually)	Self-hosted instance, server maintenance and support included; +$150/seat/year

The free plan’s 15-private-snippet cap is the key constraint for individual use. Expert removes that cap and allows unlimited uploads. Teams adds collaborative administration features as well as shared libraries. The self-hosted option is priced annually and includes maintenance and support.

Platforms

Cacher is listed for extension, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Online storage makes snippets accessible through desktop clients and the web app. The VS Code extension, Chrome and Firefox extension, and Slack integration cover additional points in a coding workflow.

Who it's for

Cacher may suit developers who want a searchable personal collection of reusable code and value labels, online access and version history. Its browser extension can save examples encountered on webpages, while the VS Code integration supports capturing and inserting snippets from within the editor.

Teams that want to share a snippet library can consider the Teams plan, which also lists code reviews, role management and centralized billing. Users who need private snippets but want to start without a subscription can try the free allowance; those with a requirement to host the service themselves can review the self-hosted plan’s annual cost and per-seat charge.

Pros and cons

Pros: Two-way GitHub Gist sync; integrations for VS Code, Slack, Chrome and Firefox; shared libraries; cross-device sync and version history.
Cons: The free plan limits private snippets to 15 and private labels to 3. Attachment sizes vary by plan, and the self-hosted option has a substantially different annual price structure.

Alternatives

Other options in this category include Bitbucket, Snibox, Gisto, Lepton, massCode, ZCode Snippets, ByteStash and SnippetsLab. Browse Code Snippet Management Software and Code Snippet Managers for more options.

Verdict

Cacher combines a personal snippet library with collaboration and several integrations for moving code into and out of a developer’s workflow. Its free plan provides unlimited public snippets but keeps private use to 15 snippets and 3 labels, so the listed limits matter if the collection is intended to grow. Expert is the straightforward paid step for unlimited private snippets and labels; Teams is aimed at shared work, and self-hosting comes with a separate annual price and per-seat fee. Check the plan limits against how much private code, file storage and collaboration you need before choosing.
