TypeShift is a Mac text expander that replaces short abbreviations with full text — emails, signatures, boilerplate, and AI-generated content — the moment you finish typing.
One-time purchase · macOS 13 Ventura or later · Apple Silicon & Intel
TypeShift stays out of your way until the moment you need it.
The moment you finish typing an abbreviation, it fires. No delay, no confirmation — just instant replacement.
Mail, Slack, VS Code, Safari, Terminal — expansion works in every app that accepts keyboard input.
Create formatted snippets with bold, italic, color, links, and font sizes. Pastes beautifully into rich-aware apps.
Insert dynamic content anywhere in a snippet — today's date, clipboard contents, fill-in prompts, cursor placement, and nested snippets.
Build your own reusable macros in a formula editor — combine text, built-in macros, and 40+ SQL-like functions, then drop them into any snippet with a single token.
Drop {ai: your prompt} anywhere in a snippet and let AI generate the text at expansion time — powered by OpenAI, Claude, Grok, or a local Ollama model.
Your snippet library stays in sync across all your Macs automatically via iCloud. No account setup required.
Organize snippets into color-coded groups — Work, Personal, Replies, or anything you like.
Instantly filter your entire snippet library as you type. Find any snippet in under a second.
Hear a subtle sound when a snippet expands. Choose from system sounds or upload your own audio file.
Lives quietly in your menu bar. Launches at login, never clutters your Dock, always one click away.
Your snippets live on your Mac and in your personal iCloud. Nothing is sent to any third-party server.
One payment. Yours forever. No subscription, no renewal, no surprises.
Not ready? Download the free 30-day trial — no credit card required.
Three steps and you'll never type the same thing twice again.
Give it a title, write your expanded content (plain text or rich text), and assign a short abbreviation.
Start typing anywhere on your Mac. The app watches for your abbreviation in the background.
The moment you finish typing, TypeShift replaces the abbreviation with your full snippet.
TypeShift is a Universal Binary — one download that runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
The only Mac text expander with built-in AI. One purchase, every Mac you own.
