Frequently asked questions

Does Snippety work in my EHR?

Snippety expands keywords in any native macOS text field and in most web-based systems. Note that some hospital EHRs run inside virtualized or Citrix sessions, where system-wide text expanders can be limited — in those cases the Spotlight-style quick-access panel and copy-to-clipboard still help.

Can templates prompt for patient-specific details?

Yes. Use fill-in variables, selectable values, and selectable or calculated dates. When you expand a template, Snippety shows a quick Live Template form so you enter the specifics before it inserts.

Is my data private, and where is it stored?

Your snippet templates are stored locally on your device and sync only through your own iCloud account — there are no third-party servers. Snippety is not a medical records system and makes no regulatory-compliance claim; for handling patient information, follow your organization's policies.

Can I share templates with colleagues?

Yes. Share a collection securely over iCloud so your practice works from the same agreed wording, with no per-seat fees.

Is it a subscription?

Your choice. There is a free tier, a low-cost monthly plan if you just want to try it, and a one-time Pro Lifetime purchase if you would rather pay once — you are never forced into a recurring subscription.

Less time charting. More time caring.

Faster notes, clearer instructions, private by design.

Free to start. Pick a monthly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase.
