Stop typing the same things over and over. Type lets you create powerful text shortcuts that expand into full phrases, templates, and smart snippets — instantly, in any app, without switching your keyboard.

But Type is more than a text expander. With a built-in Command Palette, calculator, media controls, and system commands, it's like Raycast or Spotlight — for Android.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⌨️ TEXT REPLACEMENT & EXPANSION
• Create short keywords that auto-expand into long phrases
• Works in every app — messaging, email, notes, browsers
• No keyboard swap required — uses Accessibility Service
• Instant or delimiter-based trigger modes
• Undo any expansion with a single backspace

📋 SMART SNIPPETS & TEMPLATES
• Save frequently used text as reusable snippets
• Nest snippets inside snippets
• Quick search to find and insert any snippet
• Import/export for backup and sharing

🔮 DYNAMIC PLACEHOLDERS & MODIFIERS
• {date} / {time} — Current date & time with custom formats
• {date offset="+3d"} — Future/past date calculation
• {clipboard} — Auto-paste clipboard contents
• {uuid} — Generate unique IDs
• Modifier chaining: {clipboard | trim | uppercase}

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎯 COMMAND PALETTE — THE KILLER FEATURE

Press Ctrl+Space on a Bluetooth keyboard (or use the floating button) to open the Command Palette — your universal launcher:

🧮 BUILT-IN CALCULATOR
• Type "= 15*3" and get instant results
• Unit conversions included
• Copy results to clipboard with one tap

🎵 MEDIA CONTROLS
• //media/play, //media/next, //media/prev
• //media/vol_up, //media/vol_down

🏠 SYSTEM COMMANDS
• //command/home, //command/dark
• //setting/dnd, //setting/notification

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💡 WHO IS TYPE FOR?

• 📱 iPhone → Android switchers missing iOS text replacement
• 💼 Customer support agents — quick reply templates
• 👔 Business professionals — email signatures, canned responses
• 💻 Developers — code snippets, boilerplate, debug templates
• ⌨️ Bluetooth keyboard users — Ctrl+Space for instant commands
• ✍️ Power typers — anyone who types the same text repeatedly

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

♿ ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE DISCLOSURE
This app uses Android's Accessibility Service for the following purposes:
• Detecting text input fields across apps to perform automatic text replacement
• Reading typed text to match against your saved shortcuts and expand them
• Performing gestures to replace the typed shortcut with the expanded text

This app does NOT use the Accessibility Service to:
• Collect, store, or share any personal data
• Record or monitor your activities
• Access content unrelated to text replacement

The Accessibility Service is essential for this app to function — without it, text replacement cannot work across apps. All data is processed locally on your device and never sent to any server.

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
• All data stored locally on your device
• No data collection, no tracking
• Import/export for manual backup
