Your first snippet

Snippets are the core of Nibit. A snippet is a short trigger that expands into longer text when you type it.

  1. Open the Nibit app
  2. Tap Snippets+
  3. Enter a trigger — for example, ,addr
  4. Enter the expansion — for example, your full mailing address
  5. Tap Save

The comma prefix is a convention — it keeps your trigger from accidentally matching real words, and the comma is easy to reach on the standard keyboard. You can use any trigger you like.

  1. Open any app with a text field (Messages, Gmail, Notes — anything)
  2. Type your trigger: ,addr
  3. Press space or return
  4. The trigger is replaced by your full expansion instantly

You can undo an expansion immediately by tapping backspace once.
