Text expander for Windows

Turn a short keyword into the complete phrase

Stop retyping greetings, support replies, signatures, dates, and other repetitive text. TextExp watches for your shortcuts and expands them into complete, reusable snippets as you type.

Your frequently used text, ready in a few keystrokes

TextExp combines quick text replacement with an organized snippet library, giving you a faster way to write recurring messages without sacrificing accuracy or consistency.

Type a keyword

Use a memorable shortcut instead of manually entering the same complete phrase again.

Expand instantly

TextExp replaces the shortcut while keyboard monitoring runs quietly in the background.

Stay consistent

Reuse approved wording for replies, greetings, apologies, signatures, and common instructions.

Write repeated phrases without repeating the work

Create a keyword and connect it to any reusable block of text. With monitoring enabled, TextExp recognizes the shortcut and inserts the complete snippet, reducing manual typing in everyday communication.

  • Custom keywords for frequently used text
  • Multi-line snippets for complete replies and templates
  • Optional separator key before phrase insertion
  • Pause or resume monitoring at any time
Organized snippet library

Keep hundreds of shortcuts easy to find

Group snippets into folders that match your workflow - from support and sales to personal messages and dynamic strings. Browse the library tree or search by keyword when you need to update a particular phrase.

  • Folders and nested categories
  • Fast snippet search
  • Keyword and description shown together
  • Enable only the libraries you currently need

Dynamic text templates

Insert current values instead of static text

Build snippets with dynamic placeholders for values such as the current year, month, day, time, or a generated identifier. One shortcut can produce an up-to-date result every time it is expanded.

  • Current date and time components
  • Flexible date formats assembled from variables
  • Generated GUID values
  • Dynamic and static content in the same snippet
Background keyboard monitoring

Ready when you type, unobtrusive when you do not

Run TextExp with Windows and minimize it to the system tray. A configurable hotkey lets you toggle monitoring quickly, while clear status indicators show whether text expansion is currently active.

  • Start automatically with Windows
  • Minimize and close to the system tray
  • Custom hotkey for monitoring control
  • Optional sounds for replacement and state changes

Control how and when text expansion happens

Choose whether monitoring starts automatically, decide which separator confirms a shortcut, and select the interface theme that matches your system. TextExp keeps essential behavior configurable without turning setup into a project of its own.

  • Automatic or manual monitoring startup
  • Configurable shortcut separator behavior
  • System-aware theme selection
  • Immediate visual monitoring status
