It’s a text expander for Mac, meaning it makes commonly used words, phrases or pictures available via easy shortcuts.Simple things like names, email addresses, contact details, phrases, or lengthy, complex terms or boilerplate text for contracts. You can also do simple things like instantly add the date. Additionally, there are handy syncing features with Dropbox, iCloud Drive, and other platforms. And for power users, you can even run Apple scripts through your shortcuts.
