Your prompts travel with you

Claude Projects, custom GPTs, and Cowork folders work well inside their platforms. When you switch tools (Claude to Cursor, ChatGPT to Perplexity), your prompt setup doesn't come along.

Typinator stores your abbreviations on your Mac, outside any single platform. They expand in every app, every time, without switching tabs or copying anything.

Claude Projects

Available only inside Claude. Doesn't follow you to Cursor, Perplexity, or your email client.

Typinator

Runs at the macOS system level. Works in every app where you can type, including every AI tool.

Three points where every prompt workflow gets stuck

You already know how to write good prompts. The problem is what happens to them after.

01

The prompt treadmill

You write the same prompt three times this week. Each slightly differently. The output varies. You're not sure whether it's the model or your wording.

A stored abbreviation is identical every time. If the output still varies, you know it's the model, not your wording.

02

The lost prompt

Three weeks ago you had it. A prompt structure that worked exactly right. It's somewhere in a chat thread, on a different device, in a tab you closed.

Typinator stores it on your Mac. It's there the next time you need it.

03

The context switch

You're in Cursor. Your system prompt is in Notion. You open Notion, search, copy, switch back.

Each context switch raises stress and frustration measurably, even after just 20 minutes of interrupted work.*

Three steps to build your AI prompt library

Save any prompt once. Reuse it across every AI tool, every time. No plugins, no API setup, no cloud account.

1

Save your prompt once

Give it a short trigger. Your full prompt, 20 words or 500, lives on your Mac. For the parts that change per use (topic, audience, format), add input fields.

p;sys → System prompt (role, format, rules)
p;brief → Project briefing template
2

Type the abbreviation anywhere

Type the trigger in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or wherever you're working. The prompt appears instantly, every time. No copy-paste, no app switching.

3

Share with your team (optional)

Put your prompt set in a shared folder. Everyone gets the same prompts, the same outputs. When a prompt improves, the update reaches the whole team automatically. Works via iCloud, Dropbox, your company server, or any shared network location.

Works in every app where you can type

On iPhone and iPad, your prompt library syncs via iCloud. The same abbreviations, available on the go, in the Claude iOS app, ChatGPT Mobile, or any other app where you prompt.

Your prompt expertise, available to everyone

Good prompts don't stay good if only one person can access them.

For teams

In most teams, one or two people have built solid prompts. Everyone else starts from scratch and produces inconsistent results.

One shared Typinator set fixes that. Everyone types p;sys and gets the same tested, approved prompt. New hires get access on day one. Updates reach the whole team automatically.

For consultants and freelancers

Your best prompts are your competitive advantage. Export your abbreviation set and hand it to your client as a deliverable. They import it into Typinator and your methodology becomes part of their daily workflow.

The client needs their own Typinator license.

See team pricing How sharing works

“We don't have an established workflow for prompt development for agents. Heck, we don't even have established workflows for non-agentic prompt development. A lot of it is still a mix of art and science, and iterating repeatedly.”

Ethan Mollick

Professor at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, on X, July 2025

Typinator is the infrastructure for that iteration. Store what works. Build on it next time. Don't start from scratch every session.

Just wanted to congratulate you for Typinator 10. If previous versions were already awesome, the new one goes beyond that. Everything works flawless. And the tutorial videos are also superb.

As a former TextExpander user, I switched to Typinator and I couldn't be happier with the switch. I wouldn't consider myself a power user, but Typinator never failed on me, while Textexpander had few issues and unpredictability.

Ten Years Later and Still Indispensable. I rely on Typinator every single day — it's the kind of tool you forget you're even using, until you have to work without it.

After testing the latest version of Typinator, we believe it excels as a reliable text expansion tool for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. We really liked how trustworthy these expansions are, and ergonis continues to add valuable extensions and other sets to the collection.
The Woman From Nowhere
I already do! Typinator is one of the apps I recommend to every Mac user—I'd feel lost without it. I often mention it in text expander and "essential Mac apps" threads because it really is the best out there. Thanks for building such an incredible tool. Wishing you all a fantastic day, because you really made mine!

Aside from Safari and Mail, Typinator is the most frequently used program on my Mac. Thank you for the great products.

Typinator: Stable, Easy, and a Real Time-Saver with Flexible Sets. It just works, every time, in every app. The flexible snippet sets make it easy to organize everything the way I think.

Thank you very much for Typinator! Obsessive as I am, I tried all text expanders for Mac under the sun, and I've chosen Typinator. For MANY good reasons. Thank you for all your attention to detail, and for being a perfect software company in constantly updating your products. After many years, still a faithful Typinator user.

I cannot live without Typinator - in fact, scary enough, sometimes I find myself writing the shortcuts on paper instead of what I really mean!
Carl Peterson

Web Designer from Dallas, TX, USA

I just got my copy of Typinator, and I've got to tell you that I love it! Makes normal typing so much simpler. I was concerned that the HTML snippets would conflict with what Dreamweaver already does. It doesn't. I can automatically expand bits of code that I've had to hammer out character by character. This saves so much time! Thanks so much for this product.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI prompt manager for Mac?

Typinator stores your prompts as text shortcuts and expands them system-wide. Type p;sys in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other app and your full system prompt appears instantly.

How is Typinator different from other prompt tools?

Most prompt tools are web apps tied to one platform. Typinator works in every app you type in: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, email, Slack. Your prompts stay on your device. No cloud, no login required.

How do I organize my AI prompts?

Group prompts into Sets in Typinator. One set per project, client, or AI tool. Each abbreviation can have a keyword, so Quick Search finds any prompt instantly, even if you don't remember the exact trigger.

Does Typinator work with ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity at the same time?

Yes. Typinator runs at the macOS system level and works in every app where you can type: Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Midjourney, and any other AI tool. No plugins or accounts needed.

What's the difference between Typinator and Claude Projects for prompt management?

Claude Projects store context within Claude only. Typinator stores your prompts on your Mac as text shortcuts, available in every app. The two work well together: Claude Projects for session-specific context, Typinator for reusable prompts across all tools.

Where are my prompts stored?

Locally on your Mac by default. If you want to sync across devices, you choose the location: iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, or your own infrastructure. ergonis has no access to your data at any point.

Can I share my prompt library with my team?

Yes. Store a shared abbreviation set in iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, a company NAS, or any WebDAV location. Updates sync to the whole team automatically. Requires a Business plan.

I already use snippets in Raycast or Alfred. Why Typinator?

Launcher snippets cover short, static text well. Typinator is built for a growing prompt library: Sets per project or client, Quick Search across hundreds of prompts, input fields for the variable parts, scripting, and shared sets. Expansion stays fast even with very large libraries, and your prompts come along on iPhone and iPad.

Does Typinator work alongside voice-to-text tools like Wispr Flow?

Yes, and they serve different purposes. Voice tools are for spontaneous, contextual input. Typinator is for prompts you've already refined and want to reuse consistently. Most power users use both.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Download it free, no account required. Without an account, Typinator runs in trial mode with limited expansions. You can test full functionality before buying.

Does Typinator work on iPhone and iPad?

Yes, as part of the Advanced and Business plans. On iOS, abbreviations sync via iCloud. The iOS app requires a Mac running Typinator. It's a companion app, not standalone.
