What it does
A focused text expander for people who live on a Mac.
Snippr is not a team knowledge platform, launcher, or clipboard suite. It does one job: turn the things you type repeatedly into fast, reliable snippets.
Built for macOS
A SwiftUI menu bar app with native windows, system styling, launch at login, categories, templates, and usage stats.
Migration friendly
Import plain text snippets from TextExpander and review warnings for unsupported macro-heavy snippets.
Privacy
No account. No cloud. No telemetry.
A text expander needs Accessibility permission to detect abbreviations. Snippr keeps that responsibility narrow: snippets stay local, raw keystrokes are not saved, and diagnostics are exported only when you choose to share them.
Local snippets
Your snippets, categories, usage counts, and settings are stored on your Mac with SwiftData.
Content-free diagnostics
Exported diagnostics include app state and safe event names, not snippet text, abbreviations, typed text, URLs, or clipboard content.
One permission
Snippr uses Accessibility to watch for snippet triggers. It does not need screen recording, full disk access, browser extensions, or a server.
Pricing
Pay once. Keep using it.
A single payment that covers all v1 updates. No subscription, no renewal, no account required.
Lifetime license
$4.99 at launch, then $9.99 standard. Includes the Mac app, local snippets, privacy-first diagnostics, and future v1 updates.
