Your first snippet
Snippets are the core of Nibit. A snippet is a short trigger that expands into longer text when you type it.
Create a snippet
Section titled “Create a snippet”- Open the Nibit app
- Tap Snippets → +
- Enter a trigger — for example,
,addr - Enter the expansion — for example, your full mailing address
- 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.
Expand it
Section titled “Expand it”- Open any app with a text field (Messages, Gmail, Notes — anything)
- Type your trigger:
,addr - Press space or return
- The trigger is replaced by your full expansion instantly
You can undo an expansion immediately by tapping backspace once.
Next steps
Section titled “Next steps”- Add dynamic placeholders to make snippets smarter — insert today’s date, your clipboard contents, or position the cursor exactly where you want it
- Import your existing snippets from Raycast or a Nibit backup file
