Hey Product Hunt 👋 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 — 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): • Smart Variants — AI suggests context-aware variants of any macro • 25+ placeholders incl. [$Date], [$Clipboard], [$Selected], prompted input • Smart Rewrite for one-click tone shifts (professional / casual / concise) • Import from TextExpander, Espanso, aText, AutoHotkey, PhraseExpress, Alfred, Typinator, Text Blaze • Native browser spellcheck (no 37MB bundle, unlike Harper-based tools) • Local AI option via Ollama — keeps everything on your machine Roadmap: Smart Copy (OCR → cleanup → macro), Teams ($5/seat, way under the $8.33 industry average), and shareable pack links. Happy to answer anything — feature requests, encryption questions, "why not just use TextExpander," all welcome.
