We're excited to release SnipVault 1.0.21 with powerful new organization tools, security features, and enhanced AI model selection.
You can now tag your snippets for better organization and discovery. The new tag system includes a streamlined token input field right in the snippet editor where you can create, assign, and remove tags instantly. Start typing to search existing tags or create new ones on the fly. Remove tags with a simple backspace. It's a fast, intuitive way to keep your snippet library organized as it grows.
We've added two new security features to give you complete control over who can access SnipVault:
Password Protection - Set a password in settings to require authentication before anyone can access SnipVault. The password unlock modal appears when the plugin loads, and protection persists throughout the browser session. Passwords are securely hashed using SHA-256 before storage, keeping your snippets safe.
Restricted User Access - Need to limit SnipVault to a single user? You can now restrict access to just one administrator. When enabled, the menu item is hidden for everyone else, REST API endpoints are protected, and direct page access is blocked. Perfect for agencies or multi-user sites where you want tight control over snippet management.
You now have full control over which Anthropic Claude model powers SnipVault's AI features. Select from the available models in settings, with the model list dynamically fetched from Anthropic's official API. The list automatically updates when you add or change your API key, and there's a manual refresh button to reload available models anytime. SnipVault intelligently falls back to your saved model if the API fetch fails.
The file browser now supports comprehensive sorting options. Sort your files by name, date modified, file size, or file type, with the ability to toggle between ascending and descending order. The sorting UI matches the snippets list component for a consistent experience throughout SnipVault.
Defer Attribute for Modules - JavaScript module snippets now support the defer attribute, giving you more control over script loading behavior.
Dark Mode Fixes - Dropdown selects now display properly in dark mode with appropriate background and text colors, especially in Firefox where readability was previously an issue.
Update now to take advantage of these new organization and security features. As always, we recommend testing on a staging site first.
