So, given unlimited time and resources (and infinite paychecks for the developers), TextExpander support would be nice, but there are features we are all waiting for that are necessary, and which have no real workaround. Every once in awhile I find there are some things that the macOS version of an app just does better, and I think this might be one example. I realize that there are TextExpander power users who want to create sophisticated templates, and even there Workflow (or its iOS 12 follow-on) may provide a solution. Even with timestamps there is a reasonable solution: make a Workflow Today Widget that puts a timestamp into the clipboard and paste that in sure, it takes a few extra swipes. TextExpander also added a whole new tier (9. This is something users could already do using Dropbox previously. Although admittedly low on functionality, I find the built-in Apple text replacement dictionary can do most of what I need, syncs across all my devices, and it works if you are using a hardware keyboard (unlike TextExpander). With TextExpander 6 for Mac, TextExpander 4 for iOS and surprisingly, a new Windows beta, TextExpander has released its own, secure web service (along with a website) for storing and syncing text snippets. For repetitive tasks that require entering the same information over and over again, it is an invaluable tool that can save a surprising amount of time. Some text expansion functionality is useful. TextExpander is a productivity app that uses keyboard shortcuts to automatically insert longer blocks of frequently used text called snippets. The iOS TextExpander implementation is so awkward and limited that I avoid it even in those iOS apps that support it with one big exception: using it to add timestamps. In a perfect world, I would love to see TextExpander support, but given the trade-offs against other features, I don’t see it as critical to the core intent of Agenda.
