Meet PuffPuff! 🌊
Your new productivity companion who transforms tiny shortcuts into full text expansions with the magic of a friendly pufferfish.
Dynamic & Rich Content
Go beyond plain text. Create snippets with rich formatting, HTML, and even images. Use dynamic variables like {date} or prompt for input like {name} to create powerful, interactive templates.
Intelligent Workflow
Works everywhere you do. If a trigger is ambiguous (e.g., ;s is a snippet, but also starts ;sig), a simple UI appears only after you finish typing, letting you cycle through options with Tab. No interruptions.
Versatile, Layered Snippets
Start with a private, top-priority snippet library. Then, layer on shared snippet collections for your family's recipes, a study group's notes, or a project's templates. Your personal snippets always take precedence.
Privacy First & Secure
Your data is yours. All expansions happen locally in your browser. Cloud sync is optional, secure, and always under your control. We never see or store your snippets.
The Tale of PuffPuff
Once upon a tidepool, PuffPuff was just a small, shy pufferfish living among coral keyboards and kelp cables. One day, while floating through a sea of sticky notes and lost passwords, PuffPuff noticed how much time the other ocean creatures were wasting typing the same things over and over.
So PuffPuff came up with a clever trick: he'd take a short code—just a
puff of text—and blow it up into something big and useful!
;sig became a full email signature,
gm! turned into a cheerful morning greeting, and the reef
ran smoother than ever. Word spread fast (like a bubble in a current),
and soon PuffPuff was helping humans too—with the first Chrome
extension programmed by a fish (PuffPuff considered helping
on-location, but most humans lack surrounding water, a fish coworking
prerequisite). Having mastered Javascript to make the extension,
PuffPuff is now learning Sea++.
Now, every time you expand a snippet, you're getting a little help from the puffiest productivity pal on the planet. Ready to join the underwater productivity revolution? 🌊
