Chrome extension

Expand snippets on websites in Chrome, Edge and Brave, with or without the desktop app.

On this page

The dashboard#

Click the LazyBoard icon in the toolbar and choose Open dashboard. The dashboard is the same editor as the desktop app: folders, snippets, the Variables panel, Trash and Settings.

Expand on websites#

Type an abbreviation in a text field or a rich editor (such as Gmail or a help-desk reply box). It expands as soon as you finish typing it, and you can keep editing before you send.

Click into the field, then click the toolbar icon or press AltShiftL. Search your library and choose a snippet to insert it. Choose Copy when a page doesn’t allow insertion.

Where it can’t insert#

  • Browser settings pages, the Chrome Web Store and password fields don’t allow extensions to insert text.
  • Some complex editors block insertion; use Copy and paste.
  • Clipboard variables need clipboard access and may not work on insecure http:// pages.

Your data#

Snippets are stored in your Chrome profile and work without an account. Removing the extension or clearing browser data removes unsynced snippets, so use Settings → Export backup first. Sign in to sync with your other devices (Pro). Read the Chrome extension privacy policy.
