Stop typing the same things.
Replies, templates, instructions you use often.
Write it once. Ready anytime.
Typing them again doesn't make them better —
it just takes your attention.
Simple by design. Fast by nature.
Whether you're drafting an email, writing a document, or chatting with AI assistant. Press the global shortcut to bring up the palette instantly. It floats above your work, waiting for your command.
Type a few characters and instantly find the text you need. Local-first fuzzy search matches titles, content, and collection names. No need to memorize keywords.
Hit Enter to copy. The palette disappears, and your text is ready to paste. Nothing is typed automatically — you decide where it goes.
Nothing happens unless you ask.
Type Palette does not watch what you type. It only opens when you press the shortcut.
Text won't be replaced automatically. You choose what to copy and when to paste.
No more ;eml_sorry_group3 and hundreds of other keywords to memorize.
"It never types for you."
It simply keeps your text ready to paste.
Not just for work.
"We're looking into it." "Thanks for your patience." Professional responses, ready when you need them.
Grocery runs, packing lists, weekly routines.
No more Googling the same thing twice.
ChatGPT prompts and instructions you've refined over time.
Non-intrusive by design.
