RefrainThe text you reuse, one keystroke away: email replies, addresses, code and AI prompts in a plain Markdown file you own.
$9.99 once.
Refrain keeps the text you type again and again, like email replies, your signature and address, support answers, code and AI prompts, one keystroke from the clipboard. Press Control-Option-Space in any app, type a few letters and press Return. Your snippets live in one Markdown file at a location you pick, so you can sync it through iCloud or Dropbox or edit it in any editor, and Refrain reloads when the file changes.
New files start with 13 starter snippets in your Mac's language, and the app speaks 14 languages.
