I bought the package deal (see the developer's website) and am using Snippet Monkey and Snard actively. Unfortunately on a Mac Book Pro 17 with 10.4.9 neither is stable or consistent. Snippet Monkey intermittently hangs on me after trying to use a simple text only clipping. And Snard would (again intermittently) not "activate" the short cuts I have added - they appear on the drop down menu, but are greyed out and cannot be clicked.
Hopefully the developer will update these otherwise potentially very useful applets - much like CopyPaste which is also not fully compatible with 10.4.9 it seems. Until they are made more stable and consistent they are not suitable for day to day work especially when time is critical - I've just wasted 30 minutes trying to get this one snippet to work.
I'd love to rate this much more highly - but if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter how many features or how useful it COULD be or how easy it is to use - it simply does not do what it is supposed to do.

I have tried just about every one of these kinds of apps. I found Typinator to be the very best for my purposes.Reply to This
