Create shortcuts to summon up dates, lengthy passages of text and pictures.

Eliminate laborious repetition and stumbling blocks. Build up a personal library of abbreviations for standard phrases, useful fill-in-the-blanks templates and awkward-to-spell names. TypeIt4Me will zap them into place for you as you continue typing, without missing a beat. You can even create snippets that will calculate dates and times – past, present or future – before inserting them wherever you want in the blink of an eye. It all works seamlessly, in almost any app that accepts text input.

All your most used emoji, gifs and boilerplate texts at your fingertips. Clickety-click.

As well as expanding abbreviations typed on the keyboard, TypeIt4Me offers both a search window and a handy point-and-click menu. If you ever forget what abbreviation you assigned to a particular snippet, or even if you simply don’t feel like typing it, just scroll through the TypeIt4Me menu list and click it. That snippet will be inserted wherever the cursor is in the app you’re using.
