SlashKeys — Text Expander

Type \shortcut, get your full text. Free, private text expansion — no account, no cloud. The ShortKeys replacement.

Stop retyping the same greetings, sign-offs, and canned replies. Type a short trigger like \greeting anywhere on the web and SlashKeys instantly expands it into your full text. If you used the retired ShortKeys Windows app, you already know how this works — same backslash triggers, now living in your browser. Import your old tab-delimited ShortKeys export and keep every macro you've built (Pro). WHY SLASHKEYS ✔ Private by design — snippets are stored in your browser, never on our servers ✔ No account, no sign-up, no cloud ✔ Works everywhere: Gmail, Outlook web, LinkedIn, helpdesk tools, CRMs, forums ✔ Password fields are always ignored ✔ Free tier includes 20 snippets with full expansion features ✔ Six themes, from warm dark to pure-black AMOLED PRO (one-time purchase — not a subscription) ★ Unlimited snippets ★ Dynamic placeholders: {date}, {date:YYYY-MM-DD}, {time}, {clipboard}, {cursor} ★ Import & export (JSON and ShortKeys-style tab-delimited text) ★ Four extra themes HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the SlashKeys icon → Manage snippets → add a trigger like "greeting" and the text it should expand to. 2. In any text field, type \greeting — it expands instantly, right where you typed it. 3. That's it. Toggle it off per-site or globally from the popup. Known limitation: Google Docs uses a canvas editor and is not yet supported.
