In their own words
Snippety
Snippety expands short keywords into saved text in apps and text fields, and manages reusable snippets across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. Its templates can include fill-in fields, dropdowns, dates, clipboard content, AI-generated text, and conditional blocks. On Mac, App Rules can vary which snippets appear by application; automation options include a command-line interface, Apple Shortcuts actions, Siri, and shell scripts inside snippets. Snippets can be stored as rich text, HTML, RTF, or Markdown, with syntax highlighting for more than 50 languages. On iPhone and iPad, a custom keyboard lets users browse and expand snippets while typing. Collections sync and can be shared through iCloud, and users can connect an AI provider with their own API key. Snippety has a free tier, a Mac license listed at $39.99 a month with pay-once ownership terms, an iPhone and iPad purchase at $19.99 as a one-time purchase, and an optional All Apple devices subscription at $2.99 a month. A standalone Mac license covers up to two Macs; the App Store version is sandboxed, limiting some script features.
