🔐 Fully private: Your shortcuts are stored in your browser. We never see your data, and require no account.
Create any abbreviation – like :ty: for "Thank you for reaching out," addr; for your full address, sig; for your email signature. Type it anywhere in your browser and it expands instantly.
Gmail, Outlook, Google Docs, Notion, Zendesk, Slack, LinkedIn – if you can type in a browser tab, Text Shortcuts works there. No per-site setup, no copy-paste, no switching tabs.
Your shortcuts are stored in your browser. We don't store them on our servers, never see your data, and require no account. Shortcuts sync across your devices via your Google account if you're signed into Chrome.
Install in one click. No account. No setup beyond adding your first shortcut.
Text Shortcuts is a free Chrome extension that lets you define abbreviations for anything you type repeatedly. Type the abbreviation anywhere in your browser and it instantly expands into the full phrase, sentence, or paragraph – no copying, no pasting, no retyping.
Text Shortcuts is designed for personal use – your shortcuts are stored locally in your browser and never shared. If you need a shared library of templates that your whole team can access, fill in, and use consistently, that's what WordFields is built for. One workspace, shared email templates and document templates, always the approved version for everyone.
Yes. If you're signed into Chrome with your Google account, your shortcuts sync automatically across your devices. No WordFields account needed – it uses Chrome's built-in sync.

No limit. Create as many as you need.
