Works in every app
Triggers expand wherever you type, in any program on your computer.
A free Text Blaze alternative.
Type Shortcut is a desktop app for Mac and Windows, so your snippets expand in every app you type in, not only in the browser.
What changes when it is a desktop app
No limits on fill-ins
There is no snippet limit and no daily limit on fill-in fields.
No account
There's nothing to sign up for or sign in to.
Snippets are files on your computer
