About
Cacher is a code snippet organizer with desktop apps, a web app, and editor integrations for creating, storing, syncing, and sharing code snippets. It supports public and private snippets, color-coded labels, Markdown docs, file attachments, GitHub Gist sync, and integrations for VS Code, IntelliJ Platform, Chrome/Firefox, Slack, Raycast, and a CLI.
The free plan includes 15 private snippets, 3 private labels, unlimited public snippets, and 10 MB attachments. It is suited to individual developers or students who need a small personal snippet library, while paid plans add unlimited private content, larger attachments, and team features such as shared libraries, code reviews, centralized billing, and enterprise SSO.
Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped but genuinely usable starter plan: it includes unlimited public snippets, local code execution, and the main integrations, while limiting private snippets to 15, labels to 3, and attachments to 10 MB. Compared with the cheapest paid plan at $9.99/month, it delivers roughly 20% of the paid price’s practical value, so about $2/month is a fair estimate. The page also offers a 14-day trial for paid features, and no credit card is required for the free plan.
