What is Makro - Text Expander?
Makro is a free text expander that puts privacy first. Create custom hotwords that auto-expand into full text snippets in any text field, any website. Type "/sig" and your full email signature appears. Type "/reply" and your support template expands instantly.
Built for people who care about where their data goes. Makro uses AES-256-GCM encryption, collects zero behavioral data, requires no account to use, and runs no ads. When you sync across devices, the server stores only encrypted blobs - it never sees your plaintext macros.
Free tier includes unlimited macros, categories, import/export, and full hotword expansion. Premium adds zero-knowledge cloud sync, AI-powered text rewrite (local via Ollama or encrypted cloud proxy), clipboard history with semantic search, and shared macro packs.
Supports 7 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese.
