Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Slash Anywhere because I got tired of retyping the same things all day — my email, my address, the same three replies to customers, the same meeting link. Copy from a note, switch tabs, paste, switch back. Every single day. So now I just type /. Type / in any text field on any site, pick a command, hit Enter. That's it. You create your own — /email, /signature, /address — and there are built-ins that work out of the box: /date, /time, /emoji, and /voice for dictation. A few things that make it stick for me: - Variants — one /email command holding Personal and Work, instead of two commands to remember - Variables — Hello {name}, so a template stays reusable instead of needing an edit every time - Your own trigger — swap / for any symbol, or open the palette with a keyboard shortcut like ⌘K It works wherever you type: Gmail, ChatGPT, Reddit, forms, comment boxes, and so on. Free gives you 10 custom commands and every built-in. Pro unlocks unlimited commands and variables, and syncs everything across your devices. I'd genuinely love to know: what do you retype most often? That's usually the next command I build.

great, I'll check it.
Currently using and quite happy as it doesn't have any limits and it's open source.

What does yours have extra? Does it have synchronization?

 Thanks for checking it out, and fair question.

Yes - sync is there. Sign in and your commands and variables follow you to every device you use Chrome on. Everything is encrypted before it's stored.

Beyond that, the main differences:

  • Variants - one /email holding Personal and Work, instead of separate commands

  • Variables and placeholders - Hello {name}, or a [topic] you fill in as you insert

  • Rich text - bold, links and formatting survive into the field

  • Built-ins - /date, /time, /emoji, /voice for dictation, /clip for clipboard history (upcoming)

  • Your own trigger - any symbol instead of /, or a keyboard shortcut

To be straight with you: SlashText being open source with no limits is a genuine advantage, and mine isn't that. Free gets you 10 commands and all the built-ins; unlimited commands and variables are paid. That's the trade.

Since the free cap is the thing that'd stop you comparing them fairly - email me at from the address you sign in with and I'll switch you to lifetime Pro, no strings. Then you can put both side by side and tell me honestly which one you keep. If it's the other one, that's useful for me to know too.

Thanks for the response.


Question:
 why do you need to track those (related to privacy).

Personally identifiable information

For example: name, address, email address, age, or identification number

User activity

For example: network monitoring, clicks, mouse position, scroll, or keystroke logging

Personally identifiable information
That's your name and email, and only if you choose to sign in. Sign-in exists so your commands sync across devices and so subscriptions work. Use it signed out and nothing is collected at all; everything stays local.

User activity
Only a daily counter, like /email - used 12 times. That's what the "time saved" stat in the dashboard is built from.

No keystrokes, no mouse, no sites you visit, and never the text you type or insert. Google just has one broad checkbox for it, and its description lists everything that could fall under it.

And it's only if you sign in - signed out, nothing is sent at all.
