Frequently Asked Questions
Free tools like VS Code snippets or GitHub Gists either need an internet connection, slow down as you scale, or lack security features. ZetoPad is purpose-built for developers who want instant access to thousands of snippets, true offline privacy, built-in code execution, and encrypted storage — all for a one-time $9.99, not a monthly subscription.
If you don't purchase, the app switches to read-only mode so you can still view and search your snippets. Unlock full editing and all features anytime with a one-time $9.99 purchase.
Your snippets never leave your machine. There is no cloud sync, no account, no telemetry and no analytics in the app. The only outbound connections ZetoPad can make are ones you trigger: checking for updates, and downloading optional spellcheck dictionaries or code-execution runtimes. Both can be disabled in Settings, and you can verify the rest with Little Snitch or a packet sniffer.
ZetoPad runs on macOS 14+ (Apple Silicon), Windows 10+, and Linux (Ubuntu 22.04+). A single license works across all your devices.
No problem. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If ZetoPad isn't for you, we'll refund every penny.
