Saving mere seconds when you recall your snippets might not feel like much, but add up those instances across a week, and you’re gaining back serious time. TextExpander is incredibly powerful but in such a satisfyingly simple way. It’s even possible to create snippets that tell the cursor exactly where to land after insertion. What’s more, you can add date and time macros, math, and special characters. The idea is that you can save common words, sentences, paragraphs, or even images, for instant recall, rather than adding them by hand. For instance, if I want to add my shipping address to an email, I simply type ‘zadd’, and it appears, instantly. TextExpander refers to these keystrokes as ‘abbreviations’ and the content to which each one is linked is known as a ‘snippet’. It’s an omnipresent app on your Mac which enables you to summon pre-written content with a couple of keystrokes. The premise behind TextExpander is super simple.

Thankfully, I found TextExpander and… yeah, you guessed it – this simple piece of software has changed the game for me, big time.
Whether it’s my email sign-off, shipping address, or the consistent elements of my YouTube description template, if I could have £1 for every time I’ve typed the exact same sentence of text, I’d be a very rich man. This has long been the case with entering repetitive text. Worse, still, I know I’m doing it, yet it often takes me an awfully long time to do anything about it. I’m terrible for this – I do it all of the time. You know when you suddenly realise that you keep undertaking the same task again, and again, and again?
