Everything Your Team Needs

SnipChat combines real-time chat, code sharing, and VS Code-native UX into one lightweight extension.

Real-Time Messaging

Instant direct messages and room-based chat with sub-50ms delivery over WebSockets. No polling, no lag.

Code Snippet Sharing

Select any code in your editor and share it in one command. Syntax highlighting for all major languages.

VS Code Native

Lives in your sidebar and command palette. Use it without ever leaving your editor or touching a browser tab.

GitHub Auth

Sign in with your existing GitHub account. No new password, no new account — zero friction.

24h Ephemeral Mode

Free plan messages auto-delete after 24 hours. Great for quick questions that don't need a paper trail.

Public & Private Rooms

Create public rooms for open discussion or private rooms for your team (Pro+).

In-Editor Notifications

Unread message badges appear directly in the VS Code status bar — no switching context.

Message Search

Full-text search across your message history (Pro+). Find that snippet you shared last week in seconds.
