If you already own TextExpander, TypeItForMe or Typinator, you don't need Snippets. I fully expect it will get better and add these features, but remember my rule for buying software: buy it only for what it does today, not for what you hope (or developers say) it will do tomorrow. Then again, TextExpander (previously Textpander) has been around since 2005, whereas Snippets is only a few months old. It's a great utility that does what it says it will.Ĭoming from TextExpander, there are some features that I definitely miss, such as Dropbox syncing, the ability to automatically add the current date or time and, yes, even the little sound that TextExpander plays when it expands a shortcut (full disclosure: my wife hates the sound and hopes to never hear it again).
#TYPINATOR INSERT TIME UPDATE#
The interface is clean, replacements are fast, and a recent update added "placeholder" text so that you can have Snippets pause during expansion for you to enter in some text, such as someone's name. I've been using Snippets for the past few days instead of my usual macros program, TextExpander, and I have to say I'm impressed. You can even include rich text, such as bold, italics and images.
Define a shortcut such as "mas" to have it automatically expand to "Mac App Store" or other words, phrases and even entire paragraphs of text. Snippets by Conceited Software is a US$5 text macro application for the Mac.
