TextExpander is a Snippet and knowledge platform that helps individuals and teams communicate faster, more accurately, and in a consistent voice. Users save emails, templates, support answers, and other frequently used content as Snippets, then insert them in any app with a short abbreviation or quick search. Snippets stay in sync across Mac, Windows, Chrome, iPhone, and iPad. For teams, TextExpander becomes a shared library of approved messaging, with admin controls, permissions, usage insights, and SSO. New AI features recommend the right Snippet in context and help draft new ones, with a person reviewing everything before it is saved.

Overview

What is TextExpander?

TextExpander turns the things you type over and over into Snippets you can insert anywhere. Type a short abbreviation, or search your library with a keyboard shortcut, and TextExpander fills in the full text: an email address, a support reply, a meeting follow-up, or a multi-paragraph template.

Snippets can do more than plain text. Fill-in fields let you personalize a template as it expands, so a single Snippet adapts to each recipient. Snippets can also include formatting, images, links, the current or a calculated date, clipboard contents, and scripts.

A single account covers every app, and Snippets sync automatically to all your devices through TextExpander.com.

TextExpander for teams

For teams, TextExpander becomes a shared library of approved messaging. Your best writing and your most experienced people’s know-how is available to everyone, as they type. Admins decide who can view and edit each Snippet group, new hires get up to speed on day one, and usage insights show which Snippets save the most time. The result is faster replies and a consistent voice across support, sales, recruiting, healthcare, and every other team that writes to customers.
