Snippets

Reusable text typed into the field in front of you.

What it's for

A snippet is a bit of text you reuse — a gift code, an email address, a shipping line — saved once and pasted into any field in a click. It's the fast way to get the same value into the right box across many Accounts without retyping it and without fishing it out of a notes app. A snippet is inert text: nothing runs one, and only you paste it.

The Snippets screen: a table of saved text, each row with a Paste button and copy, edit and delete actions.
Saved text, one row each. Paste goes to the focused field; Copy goes to the clipboard, and the footer says what that means.shot-toolkit · Snippets screen: the reference table with rows 'Gift code · XMAS-4K9P-22QT' and 'Delivery address · 12 Example Street', each with Paste and copy/edit/delete actions; the footer counts the snippets and carries the clipboard note

Save a snippet

Press New snippet, give it a Label (what you'll recognise it by) and the Text to paste, and save. It lands in the table with its value set in type you can check character by character, and the date you added it. The search box above the table filters on both the label and the value; the footer counts what a filter is showing ("2 of 12 snippets"), so a missing row is a narrowed filter, not a lost snippet.

Paste vs. Copy

There are two ways to get a snippet out, and they're not the same.

Paste
Types the value straight into the focused field of the Session you have open. Click into an input first — if nothing's focused, Umbra says so rather than dropping the text nowhere.
Copy
Puts the value on your system clipboard as plain text, for pasting anywhere yourself.

Prefer Paste when you can. It moves the value from Umbra into the page without it ever touching the clipboard.

Where your snippets live

Snippet values are encrypted on this device. That protects them at rest — but the moment you copy one, it leaves that protection.

Deleting a snippet is confirm-gated and names which one is going. A snippet is saved text with no copy anywhere else, so a delete is a real loss, not a tidy-up.
