Sheeter is a lightweight desktop app for browsing, searching, and copying code snippets and reference notes—stored locally on your machine.
Local lookup, not a context switch.
Abstract
When you're deep in an AI-assisted coding session, small interruptions break flow: "What was that flag?" or "What's our project convention for X?" You either waste context tokens on trivia or alt-tab to Google.
Sheeter keeps your cheatsheets one keystroke away — locally, so prompts stay focused on hard problems, not reference material.
What it does
- Fast search across every registered sheet
- One-keystroke copy without leaving your workflow
- Recents stack that surfaces what you used last
- Section-scoped filters keep results tight
Plain text, your files, your folder.
Abstract
Cheatsheets are plain Markdown files in a folder you own — version-control them, sync them, diff them, like any other text.
Drop a file in the folder and it appears in the app. YAML frontmatter controls the display. Point at a git repo to share with your team.
What it does
- API reminders, CLI commands, prompt templates, team conventions
- YAML frontmatter for sections, tags, and display order
- No import step — files are referenced in place
- Re-indexes on launch and on file change
No cloud. No telemetry. No account.
Abstract
Sheeter runs entirely on your machine. No account, no analytics, no data leaves your device.
Reference your existing Markdown files in place and search them instantly — no import step, no upload, no sync server in between.
What this means
- Your cheatsheets directory is yours; point it anywhere
- Teams sync via git or whatever they already use
- No login, no email required
- Sensitive snippets stay on your machine
A workflow tuned for AI coding agents.
Approach
Agent-assisted development can move fast, but only if the project structure is unambiguous — clear conventions, concrete acceptance criteria, and tight boundaries on every change.
Sheeter is the case study where we tuned that workflow into something repeatable.
What we changed
- An
AGENTS.mdcontract describing precedence rules and constraints - Issue prompts written as self-contained implementation briefs
- Spec-first docs (technical requirements, blueprint, milestone plan) as the source of truth
- Cross-platform Tauri foundations chosen for reviewable, scoped change surface
Who it’s for
- Developers who routinely need quick syntax and command lookups
- Teams who want a shared, searchable set of engineering conventions
- Anyone pairing with an AI assistant and trying to avoid burning context on “trivia”
