  Sniplo is a lightning-fast text expander for Chrome. Save the messages, replies, signatures and snippets of text you use every day, then expand them with a short shortcut like /ty or ;sig — anywhere you can type.
  
  It works in your inbox, your docs, your help desk, your CRM, your social posts, contact forms, comment boxes, even most rich-text editors. If you can type into it, Sniplo can expand into it.

  What you can do with Sniplo
  
  ✓ Build your snippet library Save replies, signatures, addresses, code blocks, canned responses — anything you find yourself typing more than twice.

  ✓ Use fill-in-the-blank fields Drop {name} or {topic} into any snippet. When you expand it, Sniplo asks you what to put in — perfect for personalised replies that don’t sound canned.

  Built to be fast and out of the way
  
  Sniplo loads instantly, expands without lag, and never gets in the way of what you’re typing. The popup is clean, keyboard-friendly, and uses the same colours and rhythm whether you’re on a light theme or a dark one.

  Privacy you can actually verify
  
  ✓ Your snippets are stored locally on your device. ✓ No account required. No sign-up. No login. ✓ No tracking, no analytics, no ads. ✓ Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
  
  If you want to move your snippets to another computer, you do it — by exporting a file. Sniplo doesn’t sync to a server because there is no server.

  Free. No account. Works everywhere.
  
  Install Sniplo, pin it to your toolbar, and create your first snippet in about ten seconds. That’s it.
  
  Type less. Do more.

  Stop retyping the same things. Start typing smarter.
  
  Sniplo is a fast, elegant text expander that lives right in your browser. Set up a short trigger — like /ty or /sig — and Sniplo instantly replaces it with the full text as you type. No copy-pasting. No switching tabs. No interruptions to your flow.
  
  Whether you’re handling customer queries, writing emails, filling out forms, or managing support tickets, Sniplo turns your most-used phrases into one quick shortcut.
  
  ✦ Works everywhere you type Sniplo is built for the modern web. It works seamlessly across rich text editors, web apps, and standard input fields — including the tricky ones other expanders miss.
  
  ✦ Inline search when you can’t remember a trigger Type // in any field to instantly search your entire snippet library and insert with one click. No need to memorise every shortcut.
  
  ✦ Smart dynamic variables Make your snippets come alive with auto-filled values:
  
  {date}, {time}, {day}, {month}, {year} — insert today’s date in any format
  {url}, {host}, {title} — pull in context from the current page
  {clipboard} — paste your clipboard contents right into the expansion
  {cursor} — control exactly where the cursor lands after expansion
  Custom fill-in fields — prompt yourself for a name, reference number, or any one-off value
  
  ✦ Organised with folders Group your snippets into folders — by team, topic, or workflow — so your library stays clean no matter how much it grows.
  
  ✦ Cloud backup & sync Sign in to back up your snippet library and keep it in sync across browsers and devices. Snippets are yours — stored securely and never sold or shared.
  
  ✦ Usage insights & smart suggestions See which snippets you actually use, spot the ones gathering dust, and get personalised tips for keeping your library in top shape.
  
  ✦ Import & export Bring in snippets from other tools or export to popular formats. Switching to Sniplo — or taking your library elsewhere — is painless.
  
  ✦ Privacy first, always Sniplo never reads your keystrokes beyond detecting your own triggers, never transmits page content, and runs entirely on your device unless you choose to enable sync. No ads. No tracking. No nonsense.
  
  Getting started takes 30 seconds. Install Sniplo, create your first snippet, and start saving time immediately. Your keyboard will thank you.

  SnapType is a powerful, lightweight text expander that works everywhere on the web. Create short trigger shortcuts and expand them into full templates with a single keypress — no more copying and pasting the same responses over and over.
   
  ✨ KEY FEATURES
   
  ⚡ Instant Expansion
  Type a short trigger like /ty or ;sig into any text field, and SnapType replaces it with your full template text — instantly, without any button clicks.
   
  📝 Smart Placeholders
  Wrap variable parts of your template in {curly braces}: {name}, {date}, {topic}. A clean fill-in dialog appears so you can customise each snippet before inserting it. Press Tab to jump between fields and Enter to insert.
   
  🎯 Auto-Fill from Page
  The standout feature: click the target icon next to any placeholder, then click any element on the page. SnapType reads its text and saves the element mapping — next time you trigger that snippet, the placeholder fills in automatically.
   
  📊 Usage Stats
  Track how many snippets you've used, how much time you've saved, and which snippets get the most use.
   
  📤 Import & Export
  Back up your snippets to JSON and restore them anytime. Share snippet libraries with teammates.
   
  🔒 Privacy First
  SnapType stores all your snippets locally using Chrome's storage API. No data is ever sent to any server. No accounts required.
   
  PERFECT FOR:
  • Customer support agents
  • Sales
  • Developers
  • Anyone who types the same things repeatedly

  1. Click the SnapType icon in your toolbar
  2. Go to "+ New" and create your first snippet
