Features

Everything you retype, one shortcut away

Signatures, addresses, canned replies and templates — saved once, expanded wherever you type.

Works where you type

Gmail, Outlook on the web, Slack, Notion, LinkedIn, ChatGPT, forms and comments — on every site you allow.

Expands the way you want

After Space, Tab or Enter, after punctuation, or instantly. In chats, Enter sends the text already expanded.

Dates that stay current

{date}, {time} or your own format like {date:yyyy-MM-dd} — filled in the moment the shortcut expands.

68 starters, 1,900 emoji

Useful shortcuts from the first minute, and every emoji by name: :rocket:, :+1:, :tada:.

Import and export

Keep your library in JSON or CSV. The same file opens in Text Replacements for Windows.

Stays out of the way

Never expands in password or card fields. Pause everything with Alt+Shift+P or turn it off on a single site.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?
Yes. No account, no ads, no purchases inside the extension.
Does it work in Microsoft Edge?
Yes. Install it from the Chrome Web Store; Edge asks once to allow extensions from other stores.
Why does the extension ask for access to websites?
To recognize a shortcut, it reads the text you type in a text field. You can allow all websites or only the ones you choose, and change that at any time in the extension’s settings.
Does it send what I type anywhere?
No. Your shortcuts and what you type stay on your device. See the Privacy Policy.
Where doesn’t it work?
On browser pages such as settings and the extension stores, in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, and in password fields.
Can a shortcut insert today’s date?
Yes. Put {date}, {time} or {datetime} in a replacement, or your own format such as {date:yyyy-MM-dd}. The date is filled in when the shortcut expands.
How do I pause it?
Press Alt+Shift+P, or click the extension’s icon and pause it there. The same place turns it off on a single site.
How do I move my shortcuts to another computer?
Export the library as snippets.json in the extension’s library and import the file on the other computer.
Can I use the same shortcuts in Windows apps?
Yes. Export snippets.json from the extension and import it into Text Replacements for Windows, which expands them in every app.
