Revisiting Mac Text Expansion Options
Mac Text Expansion Apps
I've recently been on a mission to reassess some of the software I use to ensure I'm employing it in instances where it can accomplish tasks more quickly than the manual methods I sometimes revert to. I've been using text expansion tools (snippets) for quite some time, yet I often feel that I could leverage them more effectively.
# My Use Cases
Autocorrecting words that I will likely never type correctly due to ingrained muscle memory - available, because, bitcoin, Vietnam, download, etc.
Email addresses, home address, phone number
Auto-expanding date and time snippets in my preferred format - 2025-12-21 & 1:51 PM
Terminal commands with fill-in-the-blank popups for paths and file names for tasks such as making noscripts executable, repairing damaged app permissions, running Homebrew with my preferred switches
Boilerplate letters to app developers requesting information I use in my reviews (with fill-in-the-blank fields)
Emoji denoscriptions
AI prompts for repetitive tasks, like requesting alt-text for uploaded graphics
Search engine syntax for querying specific websites, date ranges, etc.
Frequently reused API keys
Regarding text expansion, the applications I regularly use offer me a variety of options.
# Native Expansion
This isn't a viable option for me, as it lacks support for variables like date and time. Additionally, Mac text replacement is not available in all apps. For instance, it is unsupported in Microsoft Word, Outlook, or Firefox, and it also doesn't offer any formatting.
[More info](https://vengreso.com/blog/text-replacement-on-mac)
# Raycast
I'm a frequent user of Raycast, and it is always active on my Mac. The main thing preventing me from utilizing its highly-rated snippets feature is the difficulty in importing my existing snippet collection from the app I currently use. [Raycast snippets](https://manual.raycast.com/snippets) are searchable and suitable for boilerplate text and code. Raycast supports variables, which it labels "Dynamic Placeholders." If you have a Raycast Pro account with syncing enabled, you can access the same snippet library on both your phone and Mac. Alfred, a competing application similar to Raycast, also offers text expansion for those who purchase the Powerpack, which has a one-time fee of £59 ($78). Alfred lacks iOS snippet support.
# Keyboard Maestro
There's very little that Keyboard Maestro ($36) cannot automate, including [text replacement/expansion.](https://hiltmon.com/blog/2016/04/08/text-expansion-using-keyboard-maestro-first-cut/) A notable feature of Keyboard Maestro is the ability to add a microdelay so that in applications like VSCode, where replacement can be inconsistent due to rapid triggering, you can slow down the process while still achieving the desired functionality. You can also simultaneously trigger other macros with your text expansion snippet. High-speed expansion is possible with Keyboard Maestro's "prompt for user input" feature. No iOS support.
# Text Expander
The reality is that I don't use any of these methods because I have been relying on [Text Expander](https://textexpander.com/) for over a decade. I have several hundred snippets, and the process of exporting and importing them into Raycast seemed too tedious for my liking. Additionally, at one point, I qualified for a lifetime discount on my subnoscription, so it remains quite economical (the regular price is $3.33 per month, billed annually). In terms of functionality, it meets all my needs for an app of its kind. My subnoscription works on both Windows and macOS. If you don't mind adding another subnoscription, it's a solid option. There are even libraries of snippets available for download covering areas such as customer support, coding, and Markdown. An iOS version is also available, which operates through a custom keyboard currently in Test Flight.

[Expanso](https://espanso.org/) is a free and open-source text expander that runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux (but not iOS). It boasts many advanced features and would likely be my choice if I weren't so committed to Text Expander. I use it on my Debian and Xubuntu systems.
* [Typinator](https://ergonis.com/typinator) offers another advanced option available for a one-time purchase rather than a subnoscription. Typinator functions across all applications and works with names, dates, formulas, variables, images, calculations, and code.
* [aText](https://www.trankynam.com/atext/) \- Highly regarded and priced at $5. aText supports variables, syncing via iCloud and Dropbox, and is optimized for coders. It also has a Windows version. The current Mac version is 3.21, but many users appear to prefer the legacy version (2).
* [Snippety](https://snippety.app/) \- It features an excellent mobile version to accompany a polished desktop app with variable support and AI integration. There is no free trial, but it is available in the Mac App Store, enabling use across all your personal Apple devices. ($29.99)
* [TypeIt4Me](https://ettoresoftware.store/mac-apps/typeit4me/) \- This application has been around for a couple of decades and is a pioneer in its category. It remains actively developed and was updated for macOS 26 Tahoe and features iOS compatibility. I used it in the past, and from what I can observe, it continues to improve. ($19.99 in the Mac App Store)
* [Phrase Express](https://www.phraseexpress.com/mac/) \- I used the free Windows version of this software for quite some time before TextExpander released a compatible version. Phrase Express includes many enterprise-friendly features suitable for Microsoft environments, even in the Mac & iOS versions; however, at $99 for the most basic version (which includes just one year of updates), I find it challenging to recommend for the average user.

I've built an app nobody bought
last 8 months been working on a NSFW content blocker for Mac, it uses AI for scanning your network and screen, if it detects NSFW content, closes the app showing it and blocks the internet for a while, as a tool for people dealing with this kind of content
The first version just blocks the common url's, doesn't analyze the screen, it launched 1 month ago on product hunt and my only sale is from myself when I was trying the checkout page
if you would like to try it and give me a review just lmk I'll send you a copy

ON1 is it any good for the money, trial seemed ok and its on sale but some wording makes me worry for future bug updates and that they move versions a lot to make money.
I was just wondering if anyone uses the ON1 software to manipulate photos.
Its just some of the wording on the website seems a little strange in the fact it seems as if you can buy the current version outright but at any moment they will just change a slight digit and you are out of date and will not receive any bug updates.
I get you wont get feature updates for very long as I am not one of those people that think a company should constantly give you updates but I am a little concerned that they will not support the current version for long.
Its wording like this that makes me hesitate "Coming Next Month — and Yes, It’s Another Free Update"

Keyboard-Only Window Cycling with Stage Manager
I’m trying to figure out whether the following workflow is possible on macOS (BTT, Keyboard Maestro, Karabiner, etc)
I use Stage Manager, and within each stage I have multiple active windows (not minimized or hidden). What I’d like is:
Window cycling within a stage
I want to cycle through the active windows in the current stage using:
• Double Left Shift → move to the previous window
• Double Right Shift → move to the next window
Essentially a “rolodex” or circular window switcher limited to the current stage.
Stage cycling + window selection
I’d like to use Command + Up Arrow to cycle through Stage Manager stages. When I do this, Stage Manager expands the windows in that stage. From there, I want to immediately use the same Double Shift-based window cycling (from #1) to quickly move through the windows in the newly selected stage.
Is something like this achievable?

AlwaysOnTop - Keep a URL, PDF, Videos, Notes and more on top
I made a small, native mac app called "Always on Top"
http://alwaysontop.app
It lets you open anything in a window that stays on top of other windows i.e. URLs, PDFs, text, videos, notes, your camera feed, images etc.
Would love to know what you think or what else you’d want it to do.

The story of how I ended up resetting my iMac while using the PearCleaner app.
One thing I want to make clear is that the PearCleaner app did not reset my iMac.
I really like the PearCleaner app. Even after this incident, I still do. I think PearCleaner is functionally an excellent app.
So, what exactly happened? I was, of course, deleting an app. It was a very small app, but strangely, it was taking up a lot of space. Since it was a local AI app, I assumed it was because of the AI models I had downloaded without thinking much about it. So, I deleted it.
Then the loading time got long, and that’s when I took a closer look at the detailed list. There were multiple ‘Contents’ folders, each quite large. But the paths were strange. I started seeing names of other apps that I wasn’t trying to delete. I quickly force-quit PearCleaner, but by then, the Trash was already filled with numerous Contents folders, each with numbers appended to the names.
I tried to find a way to recover them, but at least on the surface, I couldn’t find one. And restoring them one by one felt far too tedious.
I opened the apps one by one. They wouldn’t launch because they were broken. After thinking it over a bit, I decided to just reset my iMac. Luckily, I had already been considering either resetting it or buying a new Mac, or this situation would have been much more troublesome.
When using PearCleaner to delete apps, always check the details carefully.
