Text Expander - Type

🚀 Type - The Smartest Text Expander for Android

Stop typing the same things over and over. Type lets you create powerful text shortcuts that expand into full phrases, templates, and smart snippets — instantly, in most apps, without switching your keyboard.

But Type is more than a text expander. With a built-in Command Palette, calculator, media controls, and system commands, it's like Raycast or Spotlight — for Android.

━━━━━━━━

⌨️ TEXT REPLACEMENT & EXPANSION

• Create short keywords that auto-expand into long phrases

• Works in most apps — messaging, email, notes, browsers

• No keyboard swap required — uses Accessibility Service

• Instant or delimiter-based trigger modes

📋 SMART SNIPPETS & TEMPLATES

• Save frequently used text as reusable snippets

• Nest snippets inside snippets

• Quick search to find and insert any snippet

• Import/export for backup and sharing

🔮 DYNAMIC PLACEHOLDERS & MODIFIERS

• / — Current date & time with custom formats

• {date offset="+3d"} — Future/past date calculation

• — Auto-paste clipboard contents

• — Generate unique IDs

• Modifier chaining: {clipboard | trim | uppercase}

━━━━━━━━

🎯 COMMAND PALETTE

Press Ctrl+Space on a Bluetooth keyboard (or use the floating button) to open the Command Palette — your universal launcher:

🧮 BUILT-IN CALCULATOR

• Type "= 15*3" and get instant results

• Unit conversions included

• Copy results to clipboard with one tap

🎵 MEDIA CONTROLS

• //media/play, //media/next, //media/prev

• //media/vol_up, //media/vol_down

🏠 SYSTEM COMMANDS

• //command/home, //command/dark

• //setting/dnd, //setting/notification

━━━━━━━━

🔡 TYPE KEYBOARD — OPTIONAL

For the apps where shortcuts don't expand — keep your own keyboard elsewhere.

• Shortcut suggestions above the keys

• Undo an expansion with one backspace

• Per-app auto switch (Android 11+)

• 7 languages, hardware keyboards supported

☁️ GOOGLE DRIVE BACKUP — PREMIUM

• Back up & restore shortcuts and folders in your own Google Drive

• Optional daily auto backup

━━━━━━━━

💡 WHO IS TYPE FOR?

• 📱 iPhone → Android switchers missing iOS text replacement

• 💼 Customer support agents — quick reply templates

• 👔 Business professionals — email signatures, canned responses

• 💻 Developers — code snippets, boilerplate, debug templates

• ⌨️ Bluetooth keyboard users — Ctrl+Space for instant commands

• ✍️ Power typers — anyone who types the same text repeatedly

♿ ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE DISCLOSURE

This app uses Android's Accessibility Service to:

• Detect text fields and read what you type, to match your shortcuts

• Replace a shortcut with its text, or run its action (such as Home, Back, screenshot)

• Show its own windows, such as suggestions, Command Palette, floating button

• Know which app is in front, for app-specific shortcuts and the optional per-app keyboard switch

• Receive hardware key presses for suggestions and the Command Palette shortcut

• Read text you select or copy for the variable (kept in memory only)

The service is used only to provide Type's features and is essential for text replacement to work across apps. What it reads is processed on your device and is never sent to any server.

🔒 PRIVACY

• Your shortcuts and settings are stored on your device

• What you type is never uploaded or shared

• Backup: export to a file, or optional Google Drive backup (Premium) in your own Google Drive

• The app uses Firebase for usage statistics (such as which kind of feature was used — never your text) and crash reports, and Google AdMob to show ads in the free version. These Google services may collect device identifiers such as the advertising ID. See the privacy policy for details.
