About Typinator

Typinator is a text expander for Apple platforms, developed by Ergonis. It replaces short abbreviations with longer text the user types often, such as emails, addresses, code, or templates, in any app on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Users can start with ready-made snippet sets or create their own, and they can share sets with a team.

The homepage states that snippets are stored locally on the device and that the product does not upload data to the cloud or collect data. Sync is optional and can use iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, or a company server (NAS or WebDAV). Using a sync service means data moves through that external service, so the privacy statement applies to local storage unless sync is turned on. The Basic plan is macOS only and the Basic and Advanced plans are licensed for private use. The Business plan is for professional use.
