Turn repetitive typing into instant text shortcuts. Save hours every week. Works in every app, keeps your data private. Trusted by individuals and teams. Now available on iOS.
This is a big update for anyone who types the same things repeatedly like responses, AI prompts, code blocks, phrases. Typinator turns them into keystroke abbreviations, available in every application.
Typinator 10 is the first step into cross-platform. Your Mac setup now works on iPhone and iPad.
What's new:
• iOS companion app – Your sets on iPhone and iPad
• Multi-device sync – Cloud-agnostic, using any directory (iCloud, NAS, Dropbox, etc.)
• Apple Intelligence integration – Create, translate, and optimize expansions automatically
• Redesigned interface – Faster navigation, modernized layout
• Simplified login – No license keys, just your email address
Your sets are now available on Mac, iPhone & iPad.

@alice_ro This is really interesting. I’ve actually been looking for something that works like this.
I only need the iPhone version right now. Is it possible to apply the one-time payment offer only to the iPhone app? I already have a solution on my iMac (@Text Blaze), so at the moment I only need this for my iPhone.
@rohanrecommends Thanks for your interest, Rohan. Currently, the iPhone app works as a companion to the Mac app – it's not available as a standalone iOS product. If we see enough demand, a standalone iOS version is something we'd consider building.
That said, if you're open to switching from Text Blaze: Typinator works system-wide across every app on your Mac (not just in Chrome), stores all snippets locally with no cloud dependency, and runs entirely offline.
We currently have a 50% launch discount you could apply.

Really appreciate the focus on privacy and local storage. Nice to see productivity tools that don’t rely entirely on the cloud.
@mike_sykulskiThank you! Do you mean expanding images? On Mac, it is already possible, and for iOS, it is on our list for the next updates!

@alice_ro yes, exactly! Mac support is enough for me. Thanks!

Typinator eats TextExpander's lunch. Easily the best text expansion app available for any platform.

How does the iOS version of the app maintain consistent shortcut expansion across the entire operating system, and what specific accessibility or keyboard extension permissions are required to ensure it "works in every app" while keeping user data strictly on-device?
@mordrag Typinator stores your snippets locally on your device. No cloud uploads, no data collection by us. Sync is entirely your choice: iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, a company server (NAS, WebDAV), or any network location. Sync works between Macs. To use your snippet sets on iPhone and iPad you need to sync via iCloud.
On iOS, Typinator works as a custom keyboard, which is exactly what allows it to work in every app system-wide. Wherever iOS shows a keyboard, Typinator is available.
Two permissions are required in your keyboard settings: Enable the Typinator keyboard & enable Full Access, this is needed so the keyboard extension can access your locally stored snippet sets. Without it, iOS restricts what the keyboard can read. Your data stays on your device.
