What is Typerelay?

Typerelay turns short abbreviations into reusable text, code and fillable templates. Keep private libraries on your device, share selected libraries with a team and continue editing while offline.

Why Typerelay?

  • Fast expansion — type a local prefix, an abbreviation and Space to insert a snippet. The default prefix is a semicolon.
  • Local-first editing — snippets live in SQLite, remain searchable offline and queue changes for later synchronization.
  • Private or shared libraries — keep personal content private or explicitly enroll libraries for team sync.
  • Text, code and templates — preserve whitespace and Unicode, or add dates, prompted fields and explicit Enter actions.
  • Multiple interfaces — use the desktop search panel, terminal editor, web app, public API or MCP server.
  • Portable data — import and export Typerelay YAML; assisted imports also support SnippetsLab and beta formats from TextExpander, Text Blaze and TypeIt4Me.

Typerelay does not log keystrokes. Exported YAML is a portable copy, not live storage.
