A native Mac text expander with secure snippets and an end-to-end encrypted library that follows you to iPhone and iPad. Free and open source.

Built for power users who value speed and simplicity
Type \ in any app, fuzzy-search your library, and insert at the caret. Exact keywords can expand automatically.
A focused AppKit app on Mac, a touch-first iPhone library, and a keyboard-oriented split view on iPad.
Resolve clipboard text, dates, times, custom formats, locales, and offsets when you insert or copy.
Capture the clipboard, pin favorites, pause keywords, duplicate safely, and undo ordinary library edits.
Search names, keywords, bodies, and tags. On iPhone, combine several tag filters and keep pinned items separate.
Optional on-device usage ranking and prefix memory surface the snippet you tend to choose. The history never syncs.
Use multiple tags, suggested keywords, collision warnings, match highlighting, and placeholder previews.
Import native JSON or Raycast exports. Smart merge rules preserve identity and avoid duplicate rows.
Share ordinary snippets as JSON, through the iOS share sheet, or one at a time with a confirmed deep link.
Create a password-protected backup containing ordinary and secure snippets, then restore or merge it later.
Use the global ⌘\ shortcut, full in-app navigation, Ctrl+N/P movement, and an Option-expanded shortcut guide.
Automate the Mac library with JSON output and export bounded, privacy-validated diagnostics when support needs them.
Ordinary snippets stay local unless you turn on iCloud sync. Secure snippets add an encrypted vault and a human-presence check for every sensitive action.
Sync is opt-in. Records are encrypted on your device before upload, including names, keywords, and tags on the wire.
Secure content requires a fresh Touch ID, Face ID, login-password, or passcode approval to reveal, copy, edit, or insert.
The shared keys travel through iCloud Keychain, while a printable recovery key gives you a way back into a secure vault.
Usage ranking stays on each Mac. Remote changes arrive through Sync Now, pull-to-refresh, or polling that can take up to two minutes.
Each app follows the platform instead of squeezing one interface into three shapes.
Expand text in other apps and run the complete library from the keyboard.
Carry the same library in a touch-first interface made for quick copying.
Use a spacious split view that keeps the library and editor together.
Three steps from a Mac keyword to finished text

Keep typing for fuzzy search, then use arrow keys, Ctrl+N/P, or the mouse
Press Tab or Return to insert it with clipboard and date placeholders resolved
Make your snippets smarter with built-in placeholders that resolve at expansion time. Use clipboard content, localized dates, custom formats, and relative offsets. Raycast date placeholders are supported when you import an existing library.
