## Description

Lepton is a cross-platform snippet manager and cloud-synced code library designed to organize and synchronize reusable code fragments and text snippets across different operating systems. It functions as a developer productivity tool and a markdown-enabled code editor for managing technical documentation.

The application supports synchronization via remote backends and private enterprise server instances, including GitHub Enterprise integration. It utilizes token-based authentication to secure private code repository syncing and ensures connectivity in restricted corporate environments through proxy-aware network routing.

The tool provides a search interface with customizable keyboard shortcuts for rapid snippet retrieval. Content is organized through a tagging system and language groups, with visual support for code syntax highlighting and markdown rendering. Users can personalize the experience via local configuration files to adjust visual themes and editor preferences.
