What is massCode?
massCode is a free, open-source desktop workspace for developers that stores everything locally as plain Markdown. Organise reusable code snippets with folders and tags, write linked notes and task lists, and send HTTP and GraphQL requests or import Postman collections, all in one app instead of several.
