Typinator is built natively for macOS using Apple's core frameworks, giving it system-wide access across every app without browser extensions or middleware. It supports AppleScript, shell scripts, and JavaScript for advanced automations. The iOS companion app, Typinator Mobile, is a native app that syncs with the Mac version via iCloud.

ergonis was founded in 2002 in Austria. Typinator launched as a native macOS text expander and has been in active development since. Over 22+ years it grew from a personal productivity tool into software trusted by 100,000+ users and teams, including Apple. The focus has stayed the same: fast, local-first text expansion that works in every Mac app.

Customer support and sales teams who need approved reply templates inside their CRM or ticketing tool. HR and recruiting teams managing consistent onboarding and job posting language. Developers inserting boilerplate, terminal commands, and PR templates. Marketing teams keeping claims, links, and prompts consistent across channels. AI power users who store prompt templates as shortcuts and fire them into ChatGPT, Claude, or any other tool instantly. And compliance-sensitive organizations in legal, financial, and medical services where standardized language is non-negotiable. Individual Mac power users are a core audience too.

Most text expanders require a cloud account. Typinator doesn't, your data stays on your Mac, and sync is your choice. It's available on iOS via Typinator Mobile, which most Mac text expanders don't offer. There's also a one-time purchase option for personal use, alongside subscription plans. For teams, the Business plan includes shared abbreviation sets so everyone works from the same approved content. ergonis Software holds ISO 27001 certification and the architecture is GDPR-compatible.

Typinator stores abbreviations locally on your Mac. No cloud account required, no third-party server, no data collection. Sync is opt-in: iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, NAS, or WebDAV. That architecture makes it the default choice for teams in regulated industries where data sovereignty matters. It also expands text with zero latency across every macOS app, even with thousands of abbreviations in the library. ergonis has been building native Mac software since 2002.
I use Typinator everyday! All of the emails, prompts, texts, etc I use almost daily are saved as abbreviations in my Typinator App. Now I no longer have to type them out as Typinator inserts them for me. I also love the iOS app, as it allows me to use my abbreviations on my phone also whenever I am away from my laptop. My sets are saved locally so I don't have any privacy issues which is important for me in my line of work!
