What is a text expander?

A text expander replaces short abbreviations with longer text you use often. You type a few characters. Typinator expands them into emails, addresses, code, or templates. You type less and make fewer mistakes.

Why choose Typinator over other text expansion tools?

Typinator runs natively on macOS. It expands text instantly, even with large snippet sets. Your data stays on your Mac. No required cloud. Share only if you choose to.

Download Typinator. Grant the required macOS accessibility permissions. Start typing abbreviations right away. A built-in tutorial set helps you learn the basics in minutes.

Does Typinator keep my data private and secure?

Yes. Typinator stores all snippets locally on your Mac by default. Nothing gets uploaded or synced to servers. Your text stays under your control.

Does Typinator work for teams?

Yes. Share snippet libraries (called sets) across your team via shared links. Works for teams of any size – from small to enterprise organizations. Perfect for Sales, Customer Support, Marketing, and HR teams, or use it as a prompt storage tool for AI workflows.

What our customers say

As a former TextExpander user, I switched to Typinator and I couldn’t be happier with the switch. I wouldn’t consider myself a power user, but Typinator never failed on me, while Textexpander had few issues and unpredictability.

Aside from Safari and Mail, Typinator is the most frequently used program on my Mac. Thank you for the great products.

Thank you very much for Typinator! Obsessive as I am, I tried all text expanders for Mac under the sun, and I've chosen Typinator. For MANY good reasons. Thank you for all your attention to detail, and for being a perfect software company in constantly updating your products. After many years, still a faithful Typinator user.

Andre Pinheiro

CEO at Lanch LLC

I cannot live without Typinator - in fact, scary enough, sometimes I find myself writing the shortcuts on paper instead of what I really mean!

I just got my copy of Typinator, and I've got to tell you that I love it! Makes normal typing so much simpler. I was concerned that the HTML snippets would conflict with what Dreamweaver already does. It doesn’t. I can automatically expand bits of code that I've had to hammer out character by character. This saves so much time! Thanks so much for this product.
