Typinator can be used to store and recall them with a few keystrokes. It is a value-for-money tool on my Mac. > > **Cons**: It is not easy to remember those abbreviations I've saved, and it's easy to get lost in the sets of abbreviations. > > As a long-time user, I can say that I have really saved time, and Typinator has increased the speed of my writing. Additionally, I have had a positive experience with the customer service. ----- ### "Typinator has saved me time for almost 7 years" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *July 8, 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a professor at a university i Typinator stores, thousands of my responses to my students, and even allows me to personalize the responses, automatically, with their name automatically. > > **Cons**: I can’t figure out a way to have it not put an extra blank line at the top and the bottom on half of my responses. > > I’ve been using it for about seven years and have not only stored professional responses, but also personal replies, notes and notations and quotes ----- ### "Indispensible" — 4.0/5 > **Stanley** | *February 6, 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simplicity of use is the feature I like best > > **Cons**: I suppose having it tucked away in the corner of the screen where I can hit the Apple icon by mistake. > > Very positive, in fact I'd say it's indispensible. ----- ### "Great product & great service" — 5.0/5 > **Manel** | *October 15, 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy, straightforward app. Good training resources. Excellent, ready-to-go sets for snippets. Good customer service. No subscription. > > **Cons**: Nothing relevant to mention about it. The app does what it says. It could be great to have an iOS companion. ----- ### "Ten Years Later and Still Indispensable" — 5.0/5 > **Dmitri** | *February 19, 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Honestly, it’s indispensable. I’ve been using Typinator for about ten years, and it saves me time every single day. The text expansion is incredibly powerful and flexible — from simple shortcuts to more advanced snippets, it just handles everything effortlessly. It’s rock solid and runs quietly in the background without ever getting in the way. I also really appreciate how responsive and helpful their support team has been whenever I’ve had a question. That kind of reliability and customer service goes a long way. > > **Cons**: If I had to pick something, it would probably just be that I didn’t start using it sooner. It’s one of those tools you don’t realize you need until you have it — and then you can’t imagine working without it. I genuinely don’t have any real complaints after a decade of daily use. > > My experience has been nothing but positive. Typinator has become a core part of my workflow on the Mac. It’s reliable, efficient, and incredibly easy to depend on. Over the years it has consistently saved me time, reduced repetitive typing, and made my work smoother overall. It’s one of the few apps I would immediately reinstall on a new machine without even thinking about it. I honestly can’t imagine living without it at this point. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2065584/typinator?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2065584/typinator) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
