Privacy you can check

A text expander has to see what you type to know when you typed a shortcut. PhraseBolt looks only at the few characters right before the caret — at most the length of your longest shortcut — compares them with your shortcuts on your computer, and forgets them. Nothing you type is recorded or sent anywhere. It never runs in password or card fields, and you can switch it off for any site. Read the privacy policy.

FAQ

Does it work in Google Docs?: Google Docs draws text on a canvas, so no extension can replace typed text there reliably. Open the PhraseBolt palette (Ctrl+Shift+Space) and it copies the snippet for you to paste with Ctrl+V. More about Docs.
What happens if I uninstall?: Your snippets are deleted with the extension, so export a JSON backup first (free). If you used Chrome sync they also stay in your Chrome profile.
Can my team use it?: Yes. Each person installs PhraseBolt; you share folders as a pack link or file. There is no admin console — that is the point.
Which languages work?: Any. Snippets can contain any text, and date names can be English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German or Portuguese.
