Syncs with Chrome extension and web app.
π PH Special: $50 lifetime (intro price, going up to $197). No subscriptions ever.
Hey Product Hunt! π
I'm Vidur, and I'm excited to bring LoadFast to Mac!
The backstory: A few months ago, I launched LoadFast as a Chrome extension here on PH. The response was incredible - but I kept hearing the same request: "When can I use this EVERYWHERE on my Mac?"
Today, that's finally possible.
What LoadFast for Mac does:
- Type a short trigger (like `/email`) β instantly expand into full paragraphs
- Works system-wide: emails, Slack, Notion, VS Code, literally anywhere you type
- Real-time sync with your Chrome extension snippets
- Unlimited snippets, organized with categories & favorites
- Lightning-fast search to find any snippet in seconds
Why I built this:
I was wasting 1+ hour daily typing the same responses, addresses, and code snippets. LoadFast has saved me 250+ hours this year alone. Now it works everywhere.
Special for the PH community:
Lifetime access for *$50* (introductory priceβgoing up to $197 soon). One payment, use forever. No subscriptions.
I'll be here all day answering questions. Would love to hear:
- What repetitive typing drives you crazy?
- Any features you'd love to see?
Let's chat!
@vidur_sainiΒ Does it allow replacing names of users on LinkedIn? Example, if I am sending you a message on LinkedIn, it should allow me to auto-input your name. TextBlaze has this feature in their command packs.
Looks clean. I hop between Arc, VS Code, and Slack all day, so system-wide + Chrome sync is nice. Big win: no sub. Does it handle placeholders/cursor jumps and date stamps? $50 lifetime is kinda tempting. Could replace my messy TextExpander setup.
@himani_sah1Β LoadFast license is lifetime for sure!
Don't worry about the company. It isn't going anywhere :)

Congrats on the launch! Expanding snippets anywhere on Mac without switching tools sounds like such a time-saver. How easy is it to import existing snippets from other apps?

@alexcloudstarΒ Hey, placeholders, cursor jumps are coming soon. Dates work already. I'd suggest you grab the $50. It'll be gone soon :)
I currently use TextBlaze. I am planning to buy this. Are you sure it is lifetime and the company will operate at least for next 3 years? :D
