A downloadable tool for Windows and Linux

minidata is software for saving and copying short text snippets.
Copy, paste, and add to the list. Then click a snippet’s text to copy it.
Each list is associated with a profile, and there are 5 available.

Augmented

Depending on the value you enter, minidata will enable different interactions.

  • Colors: strings like #E70012 are shown with a preview.

Quick mode

Quick mode lets you create, copy, and delete snippets using shortcuts.
Each snippet has two letters next to it. Pressing : activates the command line (the last row at the bottom), and with different commands you can perform operations very quickly.

Main commands:

  • :a :add → Add a value
  • :q :quit → Quit program
  • :z :zen → Toggle zen mode
  • :d :delete → Delete value
  • :c :copy → Copy value
  • :p :profile → Change profile

Other commands that will be added:

  • :t :trash → Switch to the removed snippets list
  • :cl :clipboard → Access the clipboard

Platforms and limitations

  • Windows
  • Linux

Work in progress

  • Handle color editing: if a color string was entered, allow editing it.
  • Handle paths: if a path string was entered, allow opening it directly.
  • Paste into the focused window: allow adding text automatically by simply pressing CTRL+V (or another shortcut) when the window is focused.
  • Open source: publish the source code once it’s more presentable.
