Share snippets, your way.
OpenGist lets you create and share snippets of code, text, or notes in seconds. Whether you're sharing a piece of code with a teammate, posting a configuration file, or saving a quick note — it's fast, organized, and always at your fingertips.
What makes OpenGist worth launching.
Choose who sees each snippet — share publicly, hide from search results, or keep it all to yourself.
Code looks beautiful and readable in over 250 programming languages, plus markdown and CSV support.
Every change to a snippet is saved — you can go back and see earlier versions anytime.
Find any snippet fast with full-text search, topics, and browse by author, likes, or forks.
Embed your snippets directly into blog posts, documentation, or websites with a simple embed code.
Bookmark snippets you love and build on others' work by forking their pastes.
If you fit one of these, OpenGist is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where OpenGist makes a real difference.
Paste a code snippet and send the link — no more messy email attachments or screenshots of code.
Drop a snippet into your documentation or blog so readers can see code in a clean, highlighted format.
Keep commonly used config files, cheat sheets, or setup instructions in one searchable place.
Fork a teammate's snippet, make improvements, and share back — like a mini collaboration on every paste.
OpenGist is a clean, modern way to share snippets of code, text, and notes with anyone. Think of it as your personal library of pastes — you can make them public for the world to see, unlisted for sharing via link only, or private just for you. It supports syntax highlighting for hundreds of programming languages, so code looks clean and readable. You can search through your snippets, add topics to keep things organized, and even let others like or fork your pastes. It's a go-to tool for developers, technical writers, and anyone who regularly shares bits of text online.
OpenGist makes it effortless to share and organize short pieces of text and code. Developers love it because it handles code beautifully with smart syntax highlighting and keeps a full history of every change. Teams use it as a lightweight hub for sharing configs, scripts, and notes without digging through chat logs. Best of all, everyone gets their own profile of snippets that's easy to browse and search.
