TypeFire for Mac

Text expander, clipboard manager and markdown notes for Mac, one keystroke away in any app.

Free
In English
Version 5.1.2

TypeFire overview

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 apps.

Snippets
  • Type an abbreviation and get the whole thing: a signature, an address, a reply you send ten times a day.
  • Expands in every native Mac app and every website. Unlimited snippets.
  • Plain text, rich text or Markdown, with tokens for the date, the clipboard, a form you answer as it expands, or an AI rewrite.
  • Imports from TextExpander, aText, Espanso, Alfred and Raycast.
Clips
  • macOS remembers one thing you copied. TypeFire keeps the rest, searchable behind a shortcut without leaving the app you are in.
  • Every image is read on your Mac, so a screenshot comes back for a word that was in it.
Notes
  • Point it at a folder you own, including a live Obsidian vault, and it edits the same files in place.
  • A live editor that formats as you type: wikilinks, backlinks, tables, callouts, slash commands.
  • Quick capture from any app, daily notes, and a Quick Look preview for any .md file in Finder.
Weave
  • One graph over your notes, clips and snippets: the links you wrote and the connections it found, with no model to download.
AI where you are
  • Highlight text in any Mac app and rewrite, fix, translate or summarize it in place.
  • Runs on Apple Intelligence or a local model, or on your own OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key.
Sync and other platforms
  • Sync runs through your own iCloud Drive, with no TypeFire server in between.
  • A free Chrome extension carries your snippets to Windows, Linux and ChromeOS.
  • Every screen in eight languages.

What's new in version 5.1.2

Added
  • Copy a note as rich text: headings, lists, tables and links land in Mail, Pages or a Google Doc as formatting.
  • Vaults and collections are results in the Spotlight's All tab: search one by name, read its preview, press Enter to go there.
  • A click on a clip in the Spotlight can copy it instead of inserting.
  • Quick Look previews notes saved as Latin-1 or UTF-16.
Improved
  • Escape in the Spotlight closes an open menu, tooltip or autocomplete first, and the panel only when nothing is open above it.
  • Editing lists: the caret sits on the text, a selection takes the bullet only when you ask, and the grip that drags an item is there every time.
  • Edit a note in the external editor while it stays open in the main window; both keep in step.
  • Click the menu bar icon again to close the panel it opened.
