HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to your first shortcut.

  1. 01

    Install from the Store

    Get LazyBoard from the Microsoft Store. Updates arrive through the Store, and Windows does not need the Accessibility permission the Mac app asks for.

  2. 02

    Save a reply

    Create a snippet with a title and an abbreviation you would not normally type, such as ;thanks. Use Try it out to test it.

  3. 03

    Type or search

    Type the abbreviation in a supported app or text field, or press Ctrl Shift Space to search your library and insert.

PERSONALIZE

One snippet, many messages.

Add a name field, a list of choices, today’s date, a number, random text, or your clipboard to a saved reply. LazyBoard asks for the values when you insert it.

  • Fill in the details before the text goes in
  • Folders and subfolders keep replies easy to find
  • Import your LazyBoard phone phrases

SNIPPET PICKER

Search instead of remembering.

WHERE IT WORKS

Your desktop apps.
Your browser too.

Use shortcuts or the snippet picker in supported desktop apps and text fields. Some apps and editors restrict insertion; choose Copy in the picker and paste with Ctrl V when that happens.

Add the Chrome extension for website editors. With LazyBoard Pro, the same account keeps your library in sync between them.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before you start

Which versions of Windows are supported?

Windows 10 version 2004 or later, and Windows 11. Install LazyBoard from the Microsoft Store, which also delivers updates.

Does Windows have a built-in text expander?

Not one that works across apps. Windows has no text replacement list like macOS. Word AutoCorrect works only inside Office, and PowerToys can make a key combination type a phrase. LazyBoard expands abbreviations in supported apps and text fields.

Does Windows need a special permission?

No. The Accessibility step in the setup guide is only for Mac, so you can skip it on Windows.

Does it work in every app?

It works in supported apps and text fields. Some apps and editors restrict insertion; use Copy in the snippet picker and paste instead.

Will my snippets sync with Chrome?

Yes, with LazyBoard Pro. Sign in to the same account in the Windows app and the Chrome extension.

Will my phone phrases appear automatically?

No. Mobile libraries are separate. Use the import guide to bring your phone phrases into the desktop app.
