What you get

You can turn a few letters into text you use every day.

Rocket Typist gives you a reusable collection of the text you’re tired of typing. You can save email replies, code fragments, names, and contact details, then insert them into what you’re writing. Assign a short abbreviation to a snippet, and you can type those few letters instead of the whole passage.

You can keep snippets in folders by project, product, or situation, and search when you don’t remember where you saved something. If you prefer choosing text rather than memorizing abbreviations, you can open your collection with a keystroke and select a snippet to paste.

For templates that change each time, you can include the current date, time, or clipboard contents, plus placeholders to fill in later. You can also export and import snippets to share agreed wording with your team.

  • Retype less

    You can expand short abbreviations into full replies, recurring phrases, or code fragments.

  • Find your wording

  • Reuse adaptable templates

    You can insert the current date, time, or clipboard contents into snippets and leave placeholders for later.

  • Keep team phrasing consistent

Best for

  • You send similar email replies every day
  • You reuse passages or code across projects
  • Your team needs consistent message templates

Skip it if
