Account, network use and privacy
- Snipd account: the plugin needs a Snipd account. "Connect" opens
app.snipd.comin your browser to sign in. - Network use: the plugin connects only to the Snipd API (
api.snipd.com), to link your account and to download your snips, episode details and the default Bases views. Requests carry the plugin's API key and your formatting templates, which the server applies. - Content in your notes: synced notes link to
share.snipd.comand show episode artwork from where it is hosted. The default snip template embeds Snipd's audio player fromshare.snipd.com, which loads when you open a note; remove{{snip_audio_player}}from the snip template to leave it out. - Files: the plugin reads and writes only inside your vault.
- Privacy: the plugin itself collects no analytics. Snipd's servers record sync requests as described in the Snipd privacy policy.
