TypeFire

Type a short abbreviation, get a full snippet. Text expansion that works in any web app.

TypeFire is a free text expander for your browser. Set a short abbreviation, write a snippet once, and TypeFire instantly expands it in every text field on every site you visit. Email clients, chat tools, document editors, AI assistants, code platforms, social networks, anywhere your cursor lands in a text input. ──────────────────── WHAT IT DOES ──────────────────── • Type "sig" + space → your full email signature drops in • Type "today" + space → today's date in whatever format you set • Type "addr" + space → your address, no copy-paste, no muscle memory tax Works on every site with a regular text input or contenteditable editor. ──────────────────── FEATURES ──────────────────── 🔥 ABBREVIATION EXPANSION Type an abbreviation, hit space/return/tab, and TypeFire replaces it with your full snippet. Configurable delimiters. Native value insertion plus a smart clipboard fallback for stubborn editors. ⌨️ SPOTLIGHT LAUNCHER Press Cmd+Ctrl+T (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+E (Windows/Linux) from any tab to open a fuzzy-search launcher. Pick a snippet, hit Enter, and it pastes into the field you were typing in. 🎨 RICH TEXT & MARKDOWN Snippets aren't just plain text. Use TipTap-powered rich text (bold, italics, lists, links, images via URL, font + color), or Markdown with live preview. Rich content lands cleanly in contenteditable editors; auto-flattens to plain text in fields that don't accept HTML. 🧠 DYNAMIC TOKENS Mix templates into your snippets: {{date}}, {{time}}, {{datetime}} — with format strings {{clipboard}} — drop in whatever you just copied {{cursor}} — place caret here after expansion {{snippet:abbr}} — nest one snippet inside another ✨ AI TOKENS (BYOK) Bring your own API key from a supported AI provider (see Settings → AI for the current list) and use tokens like: {{ai:rewrite}}, {{ai:summarize}}, {{ai:improve}}, {{ai:translate:fr}}, {{ai:shorter}}, {{ai:longer}} Calls go straight from your browser to the provider you chose. We never see your prompts, responses, or keys. 📁 COLLECTIONS, TAGS, FAVORITES Organize hundreds of snippets in a nested-folder tree. Tag them. Star the ones you use daily — they pin to the top. 📋 CLIPBOARD HISTORY The last 20 things you copy from web pages, ready to paste back. Stored only in your browser. 🪟 POPUP OR SIDE PANEL Quick toolbar popup for fast hits. Maximize into Chrome's native side panel when you need a full workspace for writing or editing — TypeFire remembers your preferred surface. 🌍 8 LANGUAGES English, Français, Español, Português (BR), Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Русский. Auto-detected from your browser, switchable in Settings. 📤 IMPORT / EXPORT JSON export of your whole library. Import from the TypeFire Mac app, the TypeFire extension export, or a CSV from any other text expander. Snippets round-trip cleanly between surfaces. 🔒 LOCAL-FIRST Your snippets live entirely in your browser. We don't store snippet content, the websites you visit, the text you type, or your clipboard. The only data we keep is minimal account telemetry (verified email + aggregate counts) to count active users. ──────────────────── WORKS WITH THE MAC APP ──────────────────── If you already use TypeFire on macOS, the extension uses the same email login. JSON export from the Mac app imports cleanly into the extension and vice versa. Use them together or pick one — both are free. ──────────────────── KNOWN LIMITATIONS ──────────────────── A few web apps use specialized editor designs that browser extensions can't reliably reach. When TypeFire detects one of these apps, it shows a "not supported" notice in the popup so you know to use a different approach there. The TypeFire Mac app handles those edge cases if you need full coverage. Every other site with a standard editable text input works natively. ──────────────────── PRIVACY ──────────────────── Free, no tracking pixels, no analytics SDKs in your browsing session. Full privacy policy at https://typefire.app/legal ──────────────────── WHO IT'S FOR ──────────────────── • Engineers — boilerplate code, commit-message templates, regex patterns, API keys you type every day • Writers & marketers — common phrases, article intros, brand boilerplate • Support & sales — canned replies, follow-up templates, signature blocks • Anyone who types the same thing more than three times Free forever. No subscription, no trial, no upsell. Built by the same team behind the TypeFire macOS app. Try it. Set one snippet. Notice how much faster you type.
