Keyvara

Privacy-first text expansion for Google Workspace with local-first shortcut storage.

Keyvara is a privacy-first text expansion extension built for Google Workspace. Create your own shortcuts and instantly expand them into frequently used messages, email signatures, responses, addresses, and rich formatted text. Keyvara works in Gmail, Google Docs, and supported text fields, with your shortcut library stored locally by default using Chrome Extension Storage. ✨ Features • Create and manage personal text shortcuts • Expand shortcuts in Gmail, Google Docs, and supported websites • Preserve rich formatting, including bold, italics, underline, lists, and links • Pause or resume Keyvara on individual websites • Save selected text as a shortcut from the right-click menu • Track your productivity with achievements and milestone alerts • Optionally create manual or automatic recovery backups in your Google Drive 🔒 Privacy First Your shortcuts stay on your device by default. Google Drive backup is optional and activates only after you choose to connect it. • Keyvara does not send document content or browsing history to the developer • Drive backup creates a recovery file in your own Google Drive • Drive backups are not end-to-end encrypted yet, so avoid storing sensitive personal information in shortcuts • No debugger permission 🚀 Built for Productivity Keyvara helps you type less, work faster, protect your shortcut library, and see the progress you are making. ☕ Before your IT team says, "Absolutely not"... have them check the Privacy section. Keyvara was designed by an IT professional who has to approve software too. 📄 Need a DPA for your district or organization? Feel free to reach out by email.
