About

TypeFire is three Mac tools in one app: a text expander, a clipboard manager and a markdown notes editor. Each one opens over whatever you are working in, on its own shortcut, so nothing you do means switching windows.

Snippets. Type an abbreviation and get the whole thing: a signature, an address, a reply you send ten times a day. Unlimited snippets, free forever, expanding in every native Mac app and every website. Rich text and Markdown, live tokens for the date and the clipboard, fill-in fields, and AI inside a snippet.

Clips. macOS remembers one thing you copied. TypeFire keeps the rest, searchable behind a shortcut. Every image is read on your Mac, so a screenshot comes back for a word that only appears inside it. Password manager copies are never recorded. Everything is encrypted on your Mac.

Notes. Point it at a folder you own, including a live Obsidian vault, and it edits the same files in place. A live editor, wikilinks, backlinks, quick capture from any app, daily notes, and a graph of how everything you have written connects.

AI where you are. Highlight text in any Mac app and rewrite, fix, translate or summarize it in place, on Apple Intelligence, a local model, or your own key.

Free, with no card and no trial clock. Pro is $18 once for unlimited clips, Selection Prompts, Prompt Chains, notes sync and note history.
