Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Wrenly is simple enough to set up in a minute, and powerful enough to replace your whole template folder.
Fill-in fields
Add blanks like {input:Name}. Wrenly asks for them, then writes a message that feels personal.
Unlimited snippets
Make as many as you want and sort them into folders. No tiers, no caps, no "upgrade to add more".
Smart extras
Drop in today's date or one a week from now, a pick-list like Mr / Ms, the time, whatever you just copied, and exactly where your cursor should land.
Translate in one click
Save any snippet in Spanish, French, Japanese, Bahasa Indonesia and 18 more languages. Translated on your Mac, so your text never leaves it.
Share with anyone
Send a snippet to a colleague by AirDrop, Messages or Mail, or copy it as plain text. If they use Wrenly too, they can add it in seconds.
Find it in a second
Snippets and folders sort themselves A to Z, and search finds any snippet by its name, shortcut or text.
Bring your snippets
Switching apps? Export your snippets as a CSV file and import them into Wrenly in one click.
Private by design
Your snippets live on your computer, not our servers. Wrenly never records or sends what you type.

Questions
Can Wrenly see what I type?
Wrenly only looks at the last few characters you typed to spot your abbreviations. It never saves, logs or sends your typing anywhere. It doesn't run in password fields either. Your snippets stay on your computer.
Why does my Mac ask for Accessibility permission?
macOS requires it for any app that types for you. It's the same permission every text expander needs. You grant it once in System Settings, and Wrenly walks you through it.
What happens when the free trial ends?
Your snippets stay safe, but they stop expanding until you buy a license. Enter your key and everything works again instantly.
How many devices can I use Wrenly on?
One license covers , so your snippets come with you on all three. Need it on a second Mac? Remove it from the old one in Settings → License, or get a second license.
Do you offer team or business pricing?
Yes, team packs paid once: 5 people for $99, 10 for $179 and 25 for $399. Each person gets a Mac, an iPhone and an iPad, plus shared team folders for the whole team. Buy a Team Pack. For 50 or more, email us.
How do team folders work? Can you read our snippets?
Share any folder from Settings → Team folders and send the invite link to your team. Everyone gets the same snippets, and when someone edits one, the whole team has the new version within a minute. Snippets are encrypted on your devices before they're synced, with a key that only lives in the invite link, so nobody else can read them, not even us. Up to 3 people can share a folder for free; a Team Pack makes room for 5, 10 or 25.
I already use another snippet app. Can I bring my snippets?
Yes. Export your snippets from your current app as a CSV file (most apps offer this), then in Wrenly go to Settings → Import from another snippet app and pick that file.
Is there an iPhone and iPad version?
Yes, it's coming soon. On iPhone and iPad, Wrenly works as a keyboard: switch to it in any app and type your abbreviations, or tap a snippet from the bar above the keys. Your Wrenly license already includes it, so you'll get it at no extra cost.
How does translation work? Is it private?
Open a snippet, click the translate button and pick a language. Wrenly saves a translated copy with its own shortcut, and keeps your fill-in fields intact. It uses the translator built into macOS, so your text is translated on your Mac and never sent anywhere. The first time you use a language, your Mac downloads it once. Translation needs macOS 15 or newer.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Wrenly only goes online to activate your license key, to load community snippets when you open Discover, and to sync team folders if you use them. Translation works offline too, once a language is downloaded.
What if it's not for me?
Email us within days of buying and we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.
