Snippety

Snippety is my most important project - an advanced, 100% native text expander for Mac and iPhone. I originally started building it for myself, but over time I decided to make it useful for others too. I've really enjoyed working on this app, and in March I quit my job to take some time to rest and focus more on Snippety. Since then, I've added a lot of features, including a compact interface, conditional blocks, a CLI, and more. I've created and maintained this app from top to bottom all by myself :). Snippety is free to try, and I also offer a one-time purchase with lifetime updates. It's…

Snippety launched on May 31, 2022 with 69 votes, #562 of 2,942 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

What it does

Snippety is a tool that can boost your everyday tasks. It works flawlessly with every text field! Just press ⌘⇧Space, find your snippet, and hit ↩︎. Snippety also offers many placeholders and you can even use scripts to automate your work.

Snippety is the most powerful text expander for Mac and iPhone: fill-in forms, conditional blocks, shell scripts, AI, a CLI, and Shortcuts actions. Native, private, no forced subscription.

Type a keyword and watch it expand into full text, fill-in forms, conditional logic, live dates, shell scripts, and AI content. System-wide, in every app. Most text expanders paste static text. Snippety runs a real templating engine, so one snippet adapts to every situation.

In the maker’s words, at launch

I've spent the last 6 years building it based on user feedback and my own vision.
