TypeCrux turns short shortcuts into full text — emails, replies, addresses, signatures — in any site or app in your browser. This page rebuilds the real interface, piece by piece, in code — so you can touch it — and shows the real store screenshots further down, exactly as it ships.
Type /addr and get your full address. Type /meet and get your meeting template with today’s date already filled in.
Type /meet then a space or Tab — the same expansion the extension performs, running right here.
01 The snippet panel
Strength — Find anything in one keystroke
Every snippet, searchable, one click from your cursor
The panel holds your whole library. Search narrows it as you type; Enter or a click drops the text where you were writing. Folders keep work, support and personal text apart.
Instant search across titles, shortcuts and body text
Folders for teams, roles and languages
Character counts on every snippet, at a glance
Fuzzy search, tags, favorites and archive — a big library stays easy to search
Revision history — earlier versions of each snippet, saved to view or restore
Contacts and saved records, ready as placeholders inside your text
TypeCrux — SnippetsLive simulation
Pick a snippet — its full text appears here, exactly as it would be inserted.
TypeCrux Expands where you type
The way you already type, everywhere you type it
Plain fields, rich-text editors, iframes, Gmail, webmail, chats and CRM tools — with a custom trigger prefix and your choice of expand key.
SmartComplete
Start a trigger and the match appears as faint ghost text — Tab accepts it, Esc dismisses it. It only ever suggests; it never inserts on its own.
Smart Case
Type /addr, /Addr or /ADDR — the expansion matches your casing.
Snippet suggestions — opt-in
TypeCrux notices phrases you keep typing and offers to turn them into snippets. Only if you turn it on.
Built-in autocorrect
Your usual typos fixed automatically — and you edit the pairs yourself.
Changed your mind?
One Backspace right after an expansion undoes it.
Your rules, per site
Site rules turn expansion on or off per website; multiple triggers reach the same snippet, and Instant mode and word boundaries keep firing predictable.
02 The snippet editor
TypeCrux — Edit snippetLive simulation
· Fields like {name} are filled in as the snippet expands.
Strength — Write once, reuse forever
An editor that shows the result before you save
Shortcut, title, folder, body — and a live preview underneath, rendered exactly as your reader will receive it. What you see while editing is what gets typed.
Live preview and character count while you type
Fill-in fields for names, dates and amounts
Duplicate, reorder and organise without friction
Conditional blocks — if-then sections that adapt the text to your answers
Calculations and random values, evaluated at the moment of expansion
Nested snippets — snippets inside snippets, with cycle protection
Clipboard, page URL, page title and selected text, right inside your text
Dates & times — today, tomorrow, “next Friday”, your own formats, built with a visual date-parts builder
Real screenshot

03 Tables & rich snippets
Strength — More than plain text
Snippets that carry structure — tables included
Quotes, comparisons and schedules repeat as tables, not paragraphs. Build the grid once; the snippet drops it in, formatted, wherever you trigger it. Change the shape and watch it rebuild.
Reusable table snippets for quotes and reports
Multi-line, formatted expansions — not just one line
Same snippet, same output, every single time
Data tables — price lists and product data (CSV import included), the matching row pulled into your text as you type
Full rich text — bold, fonts, colours, lists, checklists, links and images in supported editors
TypeCrux — /quote-tableLive simulation
Rows 5Columns 3
This grid is the snippet body — one trigger inserts the whole table.
04 Settings & Vault Lock
TypeCrux — SettingsLive simulation
Expansion delimiter
You pick the keys that complete a shortcut
Case-sensitive shortcuts
/Sig and /sig stay different snippets
Vault Lock
Encrypt the snippet store with your passphrase — the key is never stored
Statistics
Always on — counted locally on this device
1,248expansions3 hrs 52 mintime saved
Settings apply instantly and are stored locally.
Strength — Your text, your rules
Control that respects how you already work
You choose what completes a shortcut — Tab, Space, Enter, a period, Shift+Space, or a custom key of your own. Keep shortcuts case-sensitive or forgiving. And with Vault Lock, the whole store is encrypted at rest behind a passphrase only you know — the key lives in memory, never on disk.
Everything stored locally — no account, no sync server
Optional Vault Lock encryption for the full library
Export and back up any time — your data is never held back

TypeCrux Private by design
Your library lives on your device. Nowhere else.
Some expanders are built around cloud workspaces and accounts. TypeCrux takes the opposite approach — expansion works with the internet unplugged.
100% local — no account, no cloud, no tracking, no telemetry. TypeCrux itself never sends anything you type anywhere.
Vault Lock — optionally encrypt your whole library with your own passphrase (AES-GCM-256). There is no recovery and no server copy. Free for everyone.
Automatic local backups — a backup file in your Downloads that stays put even if you uninstall; export is always free, never paywalled.
Erase means erase — resetting deletes your library, its snapshots and the backup files TypeCrux manages.
A picture of a typical support week — measured by the same counter you saw in the demo.
219minutes saved this week
That’s 3 hrs 39 min of careful typing handed back — every expansion counted locally, on your machine only.

08 Questions
TypeCrux, answered.
Where does TypeCrux work?
In text fields across the web in your browser — email, help desks, docs, forms and social replies. If you can type in it, a shortcut can expand in it.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. Snippets and settings are stored locally in your browser, expansion happens on your machine, and statistics are computed locally too. There is no account and no sync server.
What does Vault Lock do?
Vault Lock encrypts your snippet store at rest with a passphrase you choose. The key is derived from the passphrase and held only in memory while the vault is unlocked — it is never written to disk.
What happens if I forget my Vault Lock passphrase?
There is no recovery, by design. Nobody can decrypt the library without it — including us. That is why TypeCrux asks you to export an encrypted backup first.
Does TypeCrux work offline?
Yes — expansion works fully offline after install. Only installing and buying need their services.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no TypeCrux account at all.
Can I take my snippets with me?
Yes — export and backup are always available, free and Pro alike. Your library is your data; Pro never holds it hostage.
What happens if I uninstall?
Your automatic backups in Downloads stay put and can be restored on a fresh install.
Which browsers and systems?
Google Chrome on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS). Like every extension, TypeCrux can’t run on Chrome’s own internal pages (chrome://) or in mobile Chrome, and a few heavily locked-down editors may restrict injected text.
What is the difference between the Pro plans?
Only how you pay: $2.99 monthly, $29 a year, or $59 once for lifetime. The Pro features are the same on all three, and one license works on up to 3 devices.
Less repetition. More control.
Your next email is already written.
Install TypeCrux free, save your first three snippets, and feel the difference before your coffee cools.
