Makro - Text expansion + AI rewrite, encrypted end-to-end
Hey Product Hunt š
I built Makro because every other text expander forced a trade-off:
either it was free but capped at 20 snippets, or it synced across devices
but only after handing over your data in plaintext.
Makro is unlimited on the free tier and end-to-end encrypted on the paid
tiers ā the server never sees your snippets, just opaque AES-256-GCM blobs.
Your license key never leaves your device in raw form (SHA-256 hashed before
any network call).
What's new in v1.5.0 (today):
ā¢ Smart Variants ā AI suggests context-aware variants of any macro
ā¢ 25+ placeholders incl. [$Date], [$Clipboard], [$Selected], prompted input
ā¢ Smart Rewrite for one-click tone shifts (professional / casual / concise)
ā¢ Import from TextExpander, Espanso, aText, AutoHotkey, PhraseExpress,
Alfred, Typinator, Text Blaze
ā¢ Native browser spellcheck (no 37MB bundle, unlike Harper-based tools)
ā¢ Local AI option via Ollama ā keeps everything on your machine
Roadmap: Smart Copy (OCR ā cleanup ā macro), Teams ($5/seat, way under
the $8.33 industry average), and shareable pack links.
