Type a short trigger, get your full text instantly. 100% local — no account, no cloud, no sync server, ever. **Stop retyping the same thing all day.** LocalSnip lets you set up short triggers — like `;addr` or `;sig` — that instantly expand into the full text you actually need: your address, your email sign-off, a canned reply, a boilerplate response, anything you type more than once. Works in Gmail, Slack, LinkedIn, and ordinary text fields on any website. **Why LocalSnip instead of a subscription text expander?** Most text expanders charge you monthly, forever, and route your snippets through their own cloud server so they can sync across devices. LocalSnip doesn't do either of those things: - One-time purchase. Pay once, use it for as long as you use Chrome. No renewal, no price increases, no losing access if a card expires. - 100% local storage. Your snippets are saved only in your own browser, using Chrome's built-in storage — never uploaded to a server, because LocalSnip doesn't have one. - Export/import backup. Back up your snippets to a file you control, whenever you want — no account required to do it. **Features:** - Instant expansion as you type — no popup, no extra click - Free: up to 5 snippets. One-time $19 unlock: unlimited snippets plus export/import backup — no subscription, ever - Dynamic placeholders: insert today's date, the current time, or your clipboard contents automatically (available on the free plan too) - Works across Gmail, Slack, LinkedIn, and standard web forms **One honest limitation:** LocalSnip does not work inside Google Docs' main document. Google Docs renders its text on a canvas rather than as normal editable web content, which blocks nearly all text expanders — not just this one. Everywhere else, it works normally. **Privacy:** LocalSnip has no server, no account system, and no analytics. See the full privacy policy: https://ocojocaru.github.io/localsnip-privacy/
