massCode
massCode is a comprehensive developer workspace designed to streamline your coding workflow. It combines code snippet management, markdown note-taking, a math notebook, and built-in developer tools into a single, cohesive application.
Core Philosophy
massCode embraces an open and local-first approach. Your notes and snippets are stored as plain Markdown files on your machine, giving you full control over your data. This makes syncing with services like iCloud, Dropbox, or Git simple and portable.
Key Capabilities
Code Snippets
Build a reusable code library across projects and languages. Organize snippets with folders, tags, and fragments, then edit them with CodeMirror, format with Prettier, preview HTML & CSS in real time, inspect JSON visually, and export polished screenshots for sharing.
Notes
Keep technical notes, documentation, and drafts alongside your snippets. Write in Markdown with live preview, create Mermaid diagrams, generate mindmaps from headings, and use fullscreen presentation mode for sharing your work.
Math Notebook
Handle quick calculations without breaking your flow. Natural-language math supports inputs like "time in Tokyo", "density of honey", and financial calculations for currencies, time zones, unit conversion, and date math.
Developer Tools
Convert, encode, hash, and generate data right inside massCode with tools for JSON, Base64, URLs, colors, passwords, UUIDs, and more.
Integrations
Bring your snippet library into tools you already use with VS Code Extension and Raycast Extension support.
Localization
Available in 15 languages including English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Русский, 日本語, and 中文.
