Create your first snippetWHAT A SHORTCUT GIVES BACK
About a month back.
That’s about a year you no longer spend retyping the same words.
An example, not a measurement. It assumes 15 replies a day of about 50 words, typing at 40 words a minute, 22 workdays a month, and about 2 seconds to type each shortcut.

Text expansion that fits your day.
Use LazyBoard on Mac or Windows, or add it to Chrome for supported website editors. Start free with 10 snippets and 3 folders. Choose the app for the places you write most, then try one reply in your usual editor.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST SHORTCUT
A few things worth knowing.
Choose the setup that fits how you write, where you work, and the library you want to keep.
What can I use a text expander for?
Use a text expander for everyday replies that follow a familiar pattern: answering a customer question, sharing a booking link, following up after a meeting, or sending your contact details. Save the repeated part as a snippet, then adapt the message to the person receiving it. Our practical text expansion examples can help you choose your first few snippets.
Can I use LazyBoard offline without an account?
Yes. The desktop app and installed Chrome extension can use and edit locally available snippets offline. Free includes 10 snippets and 3 folders for local use, without an account. Creating an account and syncing require an internet connection. Start with a small local library if you only need your replies on one computer.
How do desktop and Chrome snippets sync?
Desktop and Chrome use the same LazyBoard account system. Pro includes cloud sync, unlimited snippets, and unlimited folders. Your desktop library is stored on your computer; the extension stores its library in your browser profile. A local library is imported into an account only when you choose to do so. See the desktop and Chrome plan details before choosing a subscription.
Does the Chrome extension need the desktop app?
No. The Chrome extension works independently. Open the extension and choose Open dashboard to create and manage your snippets. It is a useful starting point if you mainly write in browser editors. Choose a desktop app if you also want to try text expansion in desktop applications, and test your usual fields before moving a large library.
Will my mobile snippets appear on desktop?
Mobile accounts, libraries, and purchases are separate from desktop and Chrome. Installing both does not automatically sync your phone’s snippets to your computer. If you already use the mobile keyboard, follow the mobile snippet import guide to transfer saved phrases into Desktop Library, and review the imported folders before you start using them.
What if a shortcut does not expand?
Check that expansion is enabled, the shortcut matches exactly, and the app or website is not excluded. Chrome’s internal pages, password fields, and some complex editors do not support insertion. Try the same snippet in another supported field to narrow down the problem. Copy and paste remains available when direct insertion cannot be used.
