Typinator
Text expansion tool that replaces repetitive typing with shortcuts
Typinator is a text expansion application for macOS that solves the problem of repetitive typing by allowing users to replace short abbreviations with full text blocks, images, forms, code snippets, and workflows. It also includes autocorrection sets for common typos in multiple languages, helping users maintain professional communication and reduce errors across their work.
Key capabilities include Quick Search for finding snippets by keyword, support for variables such as dates and clipboard content, interactive forms with dropdown menus and automatic cursor positioning, and script execution for automation using AppleScript, Python, Shell, and other languages. The application integrates with Apple Intelligence to assist in creating snippet variations and translations, and offers shared snippet libraries for teams to ensure consistent terminology. Typinator works system-wide on Mac and is also available as an iOS app and a Windows beta.
Typinator is designed for individuals and organizations who want to save time on repetitive typing tasks. It is offered in several editions: Basic is a one-time payment for a single major version on macOS for private use; Advanced is an annual subscription that includes the iOS app and regular updates for private use; Business is an annual subscription for professional use with centralized license administration; and Enterprise is a tailored plan for larger organizations. A free trial is available, and the application is licensed per user on a specified number of devices.
