Snippet — Text Expander

Type a short abbreviation, get the full text — on any site. 100% local, no account, no cloud. Dates, cursor, JSON backup.

Snippet is a fast, private text expander. Define short abbreviations like ;sig, ;addr or ;brb, and they instantly expand into full text as you type — in any input, textarea or editor, on any website. Stop retyping the same things. Your email signature, your address, canned replies, code snippets, that long URL — type a few characters and Snippet fills in the rest. ⌨️ EXPANDS AS YOU TYPE • Works in regular fields, text areas, and rich contenteditable editors. • Fires the instant you finish typing an abbreviation — no extra keys to press. • Longest match wins; abbreviations start with a symbol like ; so they never fire mid-word. 🧩 DYNAMIC PLACEHOLDERS • {date} and {time} insert today's date and the current time. • {|} places your cursor exactly where you want it after expanding. • Multi-line expansions are fully supported. 🔒 100% LOCAL & PRIVATE • Everything is stored on your device. No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync. • Makes zero network requests and collects no data. • Your snippets and everything you type never leave your browser. 🛠️ SIMPLE TO MANAGE • A clean options page to create, edit, search and organize your snippets. • Export and import your snippets as JSON for backup or moving between computers. • Turn Snippet off on specific sites with one click. Free, no ads, no tracking.
