Full description
🚀 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 any app, 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 every app — messaging, email, notes, browsers • No keyboard swap required — uses Accessibility Service • Instant or delimiter-based trigger modes • Undo any expansion with a single backspace 📋 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 • {date} / {time} — Current date & time with custom formats • {date offset="+3d"} — Future/past date calculation • {clipboard} — Auto-paste clipboard contents • {uuid} — Generate unique IDs • Modifier chaining: {clipboard | trim | uppercase} ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 COMMAND PALETTE — THE KILLER FEATURE 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 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 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 for the following purposes: • Detecting text input fields across apps to perform automatic text replacement • Reading typed text to match against your saved shortcuts and expand them • Performing gestures to replace the typed shortcut with the expanded text This app does NOT use the Accessibility Service to: • Collect, store, or share any personal data • Record or monitor your activities • Access content unrelated to text replacement The Accessibility Service is essential for this app to function — without it, text replacement cannot work across apps. The text you type and your shortcuts are processed on your device and are never sent to any server. 🔒 PRIVACY • Your shortcuts and settings are stored only on your device • What you type is never uploaded or shared • Import/export for manual backup • 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. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ WHY TYPE? ✅ Works in ALL apps — no keyboard change needed ✅ Command Palette with Ctrl+Space shortcut ✅ Built-in calculator with unit conversion ✅ Media controls & system commands ✅ Dynamic placeholders (date, time, clipboard) ✅ Modifier chaining for text transformation ✅ Nested snippets ✅ Clean, modern Material Design UI Stop wasting time on repetitive typing. Download Type and let your keywords do the work. Type less. Do more. 🚀
