A text expansion tool built for professionals who value privacy and productivity.

See how we compare to TextExpander, Alfred, Espanso, and more.

Text Expansion

Create triggers that expand into anything — emails, code blocks, Unicode art. Add dynamic content with Python and JavaScript custom variables that execute at expansion time. No other text expander supports both languages.

Cross-Platform

Runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Alfred is macOS-only. TextExpander skips Linux entirely. Snip-Its covers all three major desktop platforms from a single app.

Privacy-First

All data stays on your machine with local encryption. No cloud sync, no remote servers, no tracking. Unlike TextExpander, your text is never transmitted anywhere.

Instant Performance

Lightweight and fast. Snip-Its runs quietly in the background, detects your triggers system-wide, and expands text instantly — no menu navigation, no copy-paste, no interruption.

Unlimited Snippets

Free tier includes every feature with 5 snip-its — no time limit, no credit card. Premium unlocks unlimited snip-its for $2/month billed annually. TextExpander charges ~$40/year with no free tier at all.

No Account Required

Download and start expanding in seconds. No sign-up, no email, no cloud dependencies. TextExpander and PhraseExpress both require account creation before you can use them.

Compare Snip-Its vs Competitors

How It Works

Start saving time in four straightforward steps.

Create Snippets

Save frequently used text, code blocks, email templates, or any content you type repeatedly. Assign a short trigger to each snippet.

Organize Your Library

Keep snippets manageable with folders and search. Find any snippet instantly, even as your library grows to hundreds of entries.

Type Your Trigger

In any application, type your snippet's trigger abbreviation. Snip-Its runs in the background and detects your shortcuts system-wide.

Text Expands Instantly

Your trigger is replaced with the full snippet content immediately. No menu navigation, no copy-paste, no interruption to your workflow.

Free vs Premium
