Hey Product Hunt I built TypeHalo because I was tired of retyping the same emails, support replies, and LinkedIn messages, and I did not want a cloud AI tool reading every keystroke or storing my snippet library in plaintext. TypeHalo is a privacy-first text expander for Chrome: - Short triggers expand into full emails, replies, or paragraphs - Snippets encrypt on your device before sync (zero-knowledge) - No AI rewriting your words; deterministic expansion only - Works where you already type: Gmail, LinkedIn, help desks, docs Would love your feedback, especially if you have used TextExpander, Espanso, or Raycast snippets and care about privacy. Install free on Chrome and tell me what workflow you would automate first.

Every text expander on the market can read your snippets.

Obvious when you say it out loud. A problem when you say it in a security review.
Here's the test. If your vendor can reset your passphrase and your data survives, they hold the key. Not you. All of them work this way and none of them are hiding it. That's just what someone else's server means.
We built the one where we can't. Our servers hold gibberish. The price is real: lose your passphrase and it's gone, and we can't get it back for you. That's our core design, not something in a footnote.
For a tool that stores the exact wording your company runs on, that should be the floor. Not a premium tier.
Fair trade? Or would you rather keep the reset link?
