Why TypeWise
Designed for people who write the same things again and again.
The extension blends speed, clarity, and control so you can manage snippets without turning your browser into another app to babysit.
Trigger-based expansion
Type a shortcut prefix and expand instantly in text fields, forms, and editors.
Dynamic snippets
Use placeholders like date, time, year, and timestamp to keep snippets current.
Fast snippet management
Search, filter, and organize content from the popup and options page.
Import and export
Move snippets around with JSON backup and restore when you need portability.
Optional cloud sync
Back up snippets to a private GitHub Gist and keep them synced across devices.
Privacy-conscious by default
Works fully offline until you explicitly connect your GitHub account for sync.
Workflow
Built around the shortest path from idea to expansion.
From a quick trigger in a comment box to a full snippet library in the options page, every step stays lightweight and predictable.
Capture
Create a snippet in the popup or options page with a trigger and content.
Trigger
Type the shortcut prefix in any field and let TypeWise detect it in context.
Expand
Replace the trigger with a polished, reusable response in one motion.
Sync and privacy
Use it locally, or connect GitHub Gist when you want a cloud backup.
The extension is designed to be useful without any external account. When you opt into sync, it uses GitHub's device flow and private Gists for a cleaner trust model.
- Encrypted local storage
- No mandatory telemetry
- Optional private Gist backup
