Macros
Text Macros
Create reusable text blocks with placeholders like {{name}} and insert them into your notepad in one click.
Capabilities
What Macros Can Do
Macros are reusable text blocks that save time on any writing you repeat. Each macro can contain plain text, formatting, and dynamic placeholders.
Reusable Text Blocks
Save any text — an email template, a greeting, a legal disclaimer, a sign-off — and reuse it with one click.
Dynamic Placeholders
Use {{name}}, {{date}}, or any custom variable. Fill them in when you insert the macro.
Insert Into Notepad
Send a macro directly to the online notepad in one click. It lands at the cursor position, ready to edit.
Copy to Clipboard
Copy any macro — with or without placeholders filled — to paste it into any application outside the notepad.
Tags for Organization
Tag your macros with categories like "email", "support", or "legal" to find the right one quickly as your library grows.
Export and Import
Back up your macro library as a JSON file or import macros from another device. Your templates stay portable.
Why It Matters
Stop Retyping the Same Text
Most people have a handful of things they type over and over — greetings, sign-offs, disclaimers, instructions, standard replies. Typing these from scratch every time wastes more time than it seems, and introduces inconsistency when wording varies slightly between copies.
Macros solve both problems. You write the text once, save it, and insert it exactly the same way every time after that. The placeholder system handles the parts that do change — names, dates, specific details — so the invariant parts stay consistent while the variable parts stay flexible.
Local First
Your Templates Stay on Your Device
All macros are stored in this browser profile. There is no account, server-side macro database, or cloud sync in this release. Templates may remain available between visits on the same device unless site data is cleared.
The export feature lets you back up your macro library as a JSON file — giving you a local copy that can be imported to any device or browser. You own the data, not a platform.
Use Cases
Who Uses Text Macros
Macros save time for anyone who writes the same types of content repeatedly across different tools and contexts.
Email Templates
Store follow-up emails, meeting confirmations, and standard replies as macros. Fill in {{name}} and {{date}} before sending.
Customer Support
Save responses to common questions, troubleshooting scripts, and escalation language so support agents can respond consistently.
Document Boilerplate
Store contract clauses, legal disclaimers, or standard sections that appear in multiple documents with only minor variation.
Code and Markup Snippets
Save HTML templates, configuration blocks, or code patterns you paste into projects regularly.
Writing Patterns
Capture recurring sentence structures, standard introductions, or section openers for content you write on a regular cadence.
Social and Outreach
Build outreach templates for LinkedIn messages, collaboration requests, or press pitches — customize only the relevant parts each time.
How It Works
Creating and Using a Macro
A macro is most useful when it is easy to create, easy to find, and easy to reuse. These steps show the full flow from template text to a copied or inserted result.
01
Name the reusable block
Click the + button in the sidebar to create a new macro. Give it a title that describes what it does — "Follow-Up Email", "Project Intro", "Support Reply #1" — and add tags if you want to filter by category later.
02
Add variables where text changes
Write the macro body in the text area. Wrap changing parts in double curly braces, like {{first_name}}, {{company}}, or {{project_name}}. These become the field labels when you fill the macro later.
03
Fill and insert when needed
Select the macro, then click Insert Into Notepad. If it has placeholders, a dialog asks for each value before sending the completed text into the open notepad at the cursor position. Use Copy when you only need the raw template.
04
Back up your macro library
Your macros auto-save as you type. Use Export to download a JSON backup, and Import to restore it or move your library to another device.
Compare Your Options
Text Macros vs Clipboard Managers, Snippet Apps, and Plain Notes
This tool is strongest when you want reusable writing blocks with light structure, placeholder fields, and fast insertion into the notepad. Other tools can store text too, but they solve different jobs.
Macros Tool
Best for saved templates, repeated emails, outreach blocks, response drafts, and structured snippets with fill-in fields. You store the wording once, then reuse it cleanly.
Clipboard Managers
Best for collecting lots of copied fragments quickly. They are useful for recall, but they are usually weaker when you want named templates with placeholders and deliberate structure.
Snippet Apps
Best for teams or power users who want shortcuts, expansions, or system-level automation. They can be more powerful, but they are also heavier than a local browser macro library.
Plain Notes
Best when you only need a rough text bank. Notes work, but reusable macros become easier to manage once you want titles, tags, placeholder fields, and one-click insertion.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions people usually ask when they move from one-off snippets to a real library of reusable text macros and templates.
Macros save to this browser profile and may remain between visits. Clearing site data removes them, so export a JSON backup periodically.
Write any variable inside double curly braces, for example
{{name}} or {{project_deadline}}. When you click Insert Into Notepad, a dialog appears with a field for each placeholder. Fill them in and confirm to insert the completed text. Placeholders can appear multiple times in a macro and will all be replaced with the same value.Yes. The Copy button copies the macro text to your clipboard, so you can paste it into any application, including email clients, document editors, and messaging tools. If the macro has placeholders you want to fill first, use Insert Into Notepad and then copy the finished result.
The app does not set a macro-count limit, but browser storage quotas vary by browser, profile, and device. Export regularly and split very large libraries if saves begin to fail.
Export your macro library as a JSON file and share the file. Each team member can import it to load the same macro set. There is no live sync, so if someone adds new macros locally they would need to export and share the updated library again.
