Features

Everything you need,
nothing in the way.

Native context menu

Your templates show up in Chrome's right-click menu, on any editable field. No overlaid UI — right in the menu you already know.

Keyboard shortcut

Press the combo on any focused field and a floating picker appears for quick search with ↑↓ and Enter.

T

Per-site scope

Mark as global or restrict to a single domain. Work templates don't invade your personal inbox, code snippets stay on GitHub.

Full Side Panel

Side panel to create, edit, organize, search and filter your entire library — without leaving the tab you're on.

Import & export

Move your library between devices as a JSON file. Back up, filter by scope, restore whenever.

Multi-language

Interface in English, Português and Español. Follows the system by default; switchable any time.

How it works

Three ways
to get there.

Each path is optimized for a different moment. Use whichever makes sense at the time.

01

Right-click

On any editable field, open the right-click menu. The InstaType item appears with your templates filtered by the current site.

02

Keyboard shortcut

Press T on any focused field. A floating picker appears with search, ↑↓ and Enter to choose.

03

Side Panel

Open Chrome's side panel to manage everything: create, edit, organize, search, filter, import and export.

Screenshots

See it in action.

Small details made for daily use: scope badges, instant search, the shortcut always pinned at the bottom.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does InstaType work offline?

Yes. All functionality runs 100% locally in your browser. The only internet requirement is Google Fonts in the Side Panel (cached by Chrome after first load).

Where are my templates stored?

In Chrome's local storage, tied to your browser profile on the device where the extension is installed. If you use the same Chrome profile across machines with sync enabled, data is not automatically synced — use Import & Export for that.

Does it work on every site?

Yes, on any page with editable fields: inputs, textareas and contenteditable divs. Tested on rich-text editors like Gmail, Notion, Linear, Slack, Discord and WhatsApp Web.

The shortcut isn't working, what now?

Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts, find InstaType, and assign the combo manually. Chrome sometimes skips the suggested shortcut when there's a conflict with another extension.

Do templates support variables?

Version 1.0 inserts text exactly as saved. Dynamic variables (like {{name}}, {{date}}, {{clipboard}}) are planned for a future release.

Does it cost anything?

No. Free, no paid tier, no ads. Independent software, no monetization model.
