TypeOnce – Text Snippets & Templates by A2Z tools

Stop typing the same things repeatedly.

Addresses, email sign-offs, support replies, meeting requests, code you paste every day - most of what we type online, we have typed before. TypeOnce turns each of them into a short trigger: type /addr and your address appears, ready to send.

Snippets can include today's date, your name or company, the clipboard and a cursor position, so one snippet fits many situations. Profiles keep work, support and personal snippets apart, and you switch between them in one click.

Everything stays in your browser. TypeOnce looks only at the characters just before your cursor to spot a trigger, never keeps what you type, and never runs in password or payment fields.

KEY FEATURES
• Expand short triggers like /addr, /sig or /thanks into saved text as you type
• Works in text fields, text areas and rich editors (contenteditable), with undo-friendly insertion
• Variables: {date}, {isodate}, {time}, {day}, {name}, {email}, {company}, {phone}, {clipboard} and a {cursor} position
• Profiles (Personal, Work, Support, Development) with their own details and a one-click switch
• Folders, favourites, usage-ranked search and a full snippet manager with live preview
• Insert or copy any snippet from the toolbar popup (Alt+Shift+Space) or the right-click menu
• Smart timing: waits for Space only when one trigger is the start of another
• JSON backup export and import (merge or replace)
• Never expands in password, payment or one-time-code fields; per-site exclusions

PRIVACY
Your snippets and details stay in this browser. TypeOnce only looks at the few characters before your cursor to spot a trigger; it never records what you type and never runs in password or payment fields. No account, no analytics, no network requests.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Editors that draw text on a canvas (for example Google Docs) do not accept automatic expansion; use Copy from the popup instead.
• A trigger must be typed inside one block of text; expansion inside complex editors (Notion, some CRMs) is best effort.
• Email-type inputs do not expose a cursor position, so expansion there assumes you are typing at the end.
• {clipboard} needs the optional clipboard permission. On Chrome and Edge it is read through a hidden helper page.
• Browser pages, store pages and local files cannot be accessed by any extension.
