Most text expanders sync everything you type to their cloud. TypeCrux does the opposite: your snippet library lives in your browser's storage, on your device. No account, no sign-up, no servers, no tracking — it even works fully offline. Type a shortcut, pick your delimiter, and your full text appears — emails, replies, forms, code, anything you write twice. Folders, data tables, export/import, 16 languages. Free: 25 snippets, 5 tables. Pro: unlimited — $2.99/month, $29/year or $59 lifetime.
