About

CRPL

Read full description

CRPL is a personal text expander for iOS. Define short codes like ;sig or ;feat and have them expand into longer snippets โ€” anywhere you can type, in any app. WHY CRPL? You write the same things over and over: email signatures, commit messages, code boilerplate, addresses, replies. CRPL turns those into a few keystrokes you actually remember. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create groups of codes in the app โ€” Git & Commits, Email Signatures, Code Snippets, whatever you need. 2. Each entry has a trigger code and a replacement. 3. Switch to the CRPL keyboard using the globe key. 4. Type your code, then press space (or any other trigger you've enabled) โ€” the code is replaced by the full snippet. FEATURES โ€ข Short, memorable trigger codes; replacements of any length โ€ข Multiple groups, each individually toggleable โ€ข Built-in variables: {datum}, {tijd}, {clipboard} insert dynamic values โ€ข Suggestion bar shows partial matches as you type โ€ข Long-press a key for accented alternates (รฉ, รจ, รฑ, รงโ€ฆ) โ€ข Custom emoji row in the keyboard โ€ข iCloud sync โ€” your snippets follow you across devices โ€ข Import / export as plain text โ€ข Dark, editorial design built for people who type a lot PRIVACY CRPL stores your data on your device and, if you enable iCloud sync, in your private iCloud container. Nothing is ever sent to us or to anyone else. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. Requires iPhone or iPad on iOS / iPadOS 17 or later. Full Access for the keyboard is required only for the {clipboard} variable..
