Why is SnippetsLab now free? Is the app still actively maintained?

By making the app free, we hope to bring SnippetsLab to a wider audience, allowing more developers—especially students—to discover and enjoy it. This change also lets us focus on polishing the app without the distractions that often accompany monetization. SnippetsLab will continue to receive updates, with no changes to the development roadmap.

Will there be paid features, subscriptions, sponsorships, or ads in the future?

No.

I purchased SnippetsLab in the past. Can I get a refund now that it is free?

Your support has been instrumental in shaping SnippetsLab into what it is today, and for that I am deeply grateful. As such, however, there is no plan to offer refunds for past purchases due to this change. Please note that refunds are still generally available and is handled directly by Apple.
