Where TypeFire runs
Two are live and one is on the way. Each has its own pricing, so it is worth seeing them side by side before the tiers below.
TypeFire for Mac
Free or Pro
The deepest integration. Works in every Mac app from Safari to Xcode to Terminal, with global hotkeys, the Spotlight launcher, and iCloud sync.
- Works in every Mac app, not just browsers
- Markdown notes on the vault you already have
- Clipboard manager, AI prompts, and chains
- System-level global keyboard shortcuts
- iCloud sync across all your Macs
Chrome extension
Free
Works in every web app on any operating system that runs Chromium, including Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS where the Mac app cannot reach.
- Works in every browser-based app and website
- Runs on Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS
- Same snippet library, JSON import and export
- Nothing is gated, now or later
iOS app
Free
A custom keyboard and snippet library for iPhone and iPad, so the abbreviations you built on the Mac come with you.
- Custom keyboard with your snippet library
- Snippets sync through iCloud
- In development, no date yet
The text expander is free. Pro is five things.
Unlimited clips, Selection Prompts, Prompt Chains, notes sync and note version history are the $18. Everything else costs nothing.
TypeFire Pro for macOS
Everything below is the Mac app. Notes is free in full, and Pro adds sync, version history and the clipboard features.
Launch offer: use code TF4LIFE at checkout until 30 August 2026, after which Pro is $18.
What Pro does not gate
The text expander is free and uncapped. Pro is five features, once, for $18.
The entire text expander
Unlimited snippets, abbreviations, collections, tags, dynamic tokens, AI tokens, rich text, Markdown, scripts, hotkeys, the launcher, and iCloud sync. No counters, no trial, no gate.
Screenshot OCR and clip search
Every screenshot is searchable by the text inside it, on the free tier. ClipBook charges $9.99 before you get a clipboard manager at all.
AI actions on clips
Run an AI action on any clip without paying. No other clipboard manager puts AI in a permanently free tier.
Markdown Quick Look
Select any .md file in Finder, press Space, and read it rendered instead of raw. Free, and it works the moment you install.
Eighteen dollars. Once.
TypeFire Pro is a single payment that unlocks unlimited clips, Selection Prompts, Prompt Chains, notes sync and note version history. There is no subscription and no per-seat pricing.

Questions about pricing
Still not answered?
Yes. The text expander is free and uncapped. Unlimited snippets, unlimited collections and tags, abbreviation expansion in every Mac app and every website, global hotkeys, the Spotlight-style launcher, rich text and Markdown, script snippets, dynamic tokens, AI tokens with your own API key, and iCloud sync all cost nothing.
There is also a clipboard manager, and most of that is free too: your 10 most recent clips, screenshot OCR, clip search, Quick Paste, pinning, tags, and AI actions on clips.
Five things, all in the Mac app. Pro does not apply to the Chrome extension or the planned iOS app, both of which are free with no paid tier.
First, unlimited clips instead of the 10 most recent, so your clipboard history goes as far back as the retention setting you pick. Second, Selection Prompts: highlight text in any app, trigger a prompt by its abbreviation or its own shortcut, and the result replaces your selection in place.
Third, Prompt Chains: run several prompts in sequence on a single hotkey, each step receiving the previous step's output. Fourth, notes sync between your own Macs over your own iCloud.
Fifth, note version history, so every save keeps a snapshot you can roll back to. That is the entire Pro tier.
Notes itself is free, including the vault, the global overlay, quick capture, daily notes, wikilinks, backlinks and AI on a note. Every future Pro feature is included in the same $18, and there is no subscription, no renewal, and no per-seat pricing.
No. It is a single payment. There is no annual renewal, no monthly charge, and no plan that lapses.
For comparison, TextExpander is $40 per year forever, Paste is $3.99 per month or $89.99 for a lifetime licence, Supaste is $29, CopyMagic is $39.99, and ClipBook starts at $9.99 with no free tier at all. TypeFire is $18 once, on top of a free tier that stays free whether or not you ever upgrade.
Nothing is deleted. Your clips are still there and still searchable; you simply drop back to the free tier's 10 most recent.
Selection Prompts and Chains stay in your library but grey out with a Pro badge instead of disappearing, and they will not run from an abbreviation or a shortcut until you upgrade. If you would rather not see them, Settings has an option to hide locked snippets, and they reappear the moment Pro does.
Upgrade six months later and everything is exactly where you left it. The trial starts automatically when you install and never asks for a card, so nothing auto-charges.
No. You buy from inside the Mac app, which is what lets it unlock automatically once payment completes.
If anything goes wrong mid-checkout, there is an Activate option in the app, and your receipt email has everything you need.
One licence covers up to three of your own Macs.
On a new Mac, or after a clean reinstall, choose Restore purchase and enter the email you bought with. Compare that to ClipBook, which sells per-device tiers starting at $9.99 for a single Mac and $14.99 for two.
A payment provider acting as merchant of record, so VAT and sales tax for your country are handled automatically and the price at checkout is the price including tax.
We never see or store your card details.

This is also why the free tier is permanent rather than a countdown: you can run the text expander, a working clipboard manager and the whole Notes world for as long as you like, at no cost, before deciding whether $18 is worth it.
No. The Chrome extension is free and has no paid tier.
It covers text expansion in every web app on any operating system, including Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS. Pro applies only to the Mac app, because every Pro feature unlimited clipsSelection PromptsPrompt Chainsnotes sync and note version history depends on macOS capabilities the browser does not expose.
No. The clipboard manager works on the free tier, capped at your 10 most recent clips.
That free tier is not a stripped-down preview either: screenshot OCR, search across clips including text found inside images, Quick Paste with Control Command Shift V, pinning, tags, source-app filters, and AI actions on clips all work without paying. Pro removes the 10-clip cap.
As far as we know, TypeFire is the only Mac clipboard manager that includes OCR search and AI actions in a permanently free tier.
Start free. Decide later.
Download it, use the text expander forever at no cost, and let the 7 day Pro trial answer the $18 question for you.
Free text expander, clipboard manager and markdown notes. $18 once for unlimited clips, notes sync and AI prompts.
