![]() 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. Keyboard shortcuts are expanded into longer blocks of text called snippets. 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. TextExpander is a Mac productivity and text expansion app. 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. The task prompts me to review my goals, and work out what makes the most difference in DayOne- again, using a prompt from a text expander. 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). ![]() Some text expansion functionality is useful. 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. Im a DayOne user, so Ive put it into TextExpander so I can easily have daily access to the template inside DayOne. 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.
