Save text snippets and insert them anywhere — right-click menu, side panel, or keyboard shortcut. InstaType is a fast, private text snippet manager for Chrome. Save the phrases, signatures, addresses and code blocks you type over and over, then paste them anywhere on the web in two clicks — or with a single keyboard shortcut. ━━━ How it works ━━━ • Right-click on any input field → InstaType menu → pick a snippet. • Or focus an input and press the shortcut (default: Alt+Shift+T) to open a quick picker with search and arrow-key navigation. • Or open the side panel to browse, edit and organize your library. ━━━ Smart scopes ━━━ Mark a snippet as Global to make it available everywhere, or scope it to a single domain. The right-click menu auto-filters to show only what's relevant for the page you're on — your work signatures don't clutter your personal email, your code snippets stay on GitHub. ━━━ Works in any input ━━━ • Plain text inputs and textareas (forms, search boxes, comments) • Rich-text and contenteditable editors, including modern ones that manage their own input, so text lands correctly • Multi-line snippets keep their line breaks intact ━━━ Copy to use anywhere ━━━ Every snippet has a one-click Copy button in the side panel — put it on your clipboard and paste it into desktop apps, other browsers, or anywhere outside the web. ━━━ Private by design ━━━ Everything is stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local. No accounts. No servers. No analytics. No telemetry. Nothing leaves your device — not even anonymized. Your active tab's domain is read in real time (so the menu can filter by site) but never stored or transmitted. ━━━ Portable ━━━ • Export your library as JSON, anytime. • Import on another device to restore. • Filter the export: everything, only globals, or only the current site. ━━━ Multilingual ━━━ UI in English, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish. Follows your system language by default; switch any time from the side panel menu. ━━━ Designed for daily use ━━━ A warm cream interface with serif headlines and monospace text where it counts. Friendly, calm, fast. Built to disappear when you're not using it and snap to attention when you are. ━━━ Open & honest ━━━ InstaType is independent software. It will never be ad-supported, will never require an account, and will never send your data anywhere.
