Text Expander Pro

Type less, do more. Smart text expansion for professionals.

Stop retyping the same emails, code blocks, support replies, and boilerplate text. Text Expander Pro lets you type a short trigger like /hello, press Space, Tab, or Enter, and instantly expand it into any text you need. Save hours every week by turning repetitive typing into single keystrokes. WHY TEXT EXPANDER PRO? Most text expansion tools are bloated, expensive, or limited to specific apps. Text Expander Pro is different: - Works everywhere. Every text field, every website, every web app. From email clients to project management tools. - Lightweight and fast. No background processes hogging memory. Expansions happen instantly. - Dynamic variables built in. Insert today's date, current time, day of the week, or clipboard contents automatically. - Organized by folders. Group snippets by project, client, or workflow. - Privacy-first. Snippets are stored locally in Chrome. Nothing is sent to external servers. - Free to use. Core functionality is completely free with no account required. FEATURES - Trigger-based expansion: Type your prefix (default /) followed by a keyword, then press Space, Tab, or Enter. - Custom trigger prefix: Change the default / to any character you prefer. - Dynamic variables: Use {date}, {time}, {day}, and {clipboard} in snippets. Values are inserted at expansion time. - Date math: Use {date+7} or {date-30} to insert future or past dates. - Cursor placement: Use {cursor} to control where your cursor lands after expansion. - Case transforms: Use {uppercase} and {lowercase} to control text casing. - Folder organization: Create folders to categorize large snippet libraries. - Site blocking: Disable expansion on specific websites. - Inline preview: See a preview of the snippet before you commit. - Usage statistics: Track how many times each snippet has been used. - Shadow DOM support: Works inside web components used by modern web apps. - Content-editable support: Handles rich text editors and WYSIWYG fields. - Context menu integration: Right-click to insert snippets from any text field.
