Importing snippets

Import is available in the web companion under Settings → Import, and on Android via Settings → Import / Export → Import file.

Both platforms auto-detect the file format — just drop or select the file and Nibit will figure out the rest.

Supported sources

App	File format	Web	Android
Raycast	JSON	✓	✓
Texpand	ZIP backup	✓	✓
Typing Hero	CSV export	✓	✓
Nibit backup	JSON	✓	✓

From Raycast

Export your Raycast snippets or quick links as JSON (Raycast → Snippets → Export or Raycast → Quick Links → Export). Both file types are supported on web and Android.

Snippets — Nibit auto-detects if your snippets use a custom trigger prefix (e.g. @ or !). If a dominant prefix is found, you’ll be prompted to replace it with Nibit’s default , prefix before importing. You can also keep your existing prefix or choose a different replacement character.

Quick links — All web URLs are imported as Quick Links. Local path targets (e.g. ~/Downloads) are automatically skipped since Nibit only supports URL-based links.

Dynamic placeholders are converted automatically:

Raycast placeholder	Nibit placeholder
{argument}	{argument name="argument"}
{browser-tab}	(stripped — not supported in Nibit)

All other Raycast variables (named arguments, etc.) are passed through unchanged since they already use Nibit-compatible syntax.

From Texpand

Export a backup from Texpand (Texpand → Settings → Backup & Restore → Create backup). This produces a .zip file. Drop it into the import card or select it on Android.

Most Texpand variables are converted to the equivalent Nibit placeholder:

Texpand variable	Nibit placeholder
%d, %D (date/time components)	{date format="..."} / {time format="..."}
%clipboard%	{clipboard}
%textinput{label}%	{argument name="label"}

Not currently supported: Tasker variables (e.g. %TASK_VAR). These are preserved as literal text and flagged with a warning. Support for these may be added in a future release.

From Typing Hero

Export your Typing Hero library as a CSV file (Typing Hero → Settings → Backup → Export as CSV). Drop the file into the import card or select it on Android.

Most Typing Hero variables are converted to the equivalent Nibit placeholder:

Typing Hero variable	Nibit placeholder
%cursor%	{cursor}
%clipboard_paste%	{clipboard}
%textinput:label%	{argument name="label"}
%snippet:name%	{snippet name="name"}
%EEEE%, %MMMM%, etc. (date/time)	{date format="..."} / {time format="..."}
%futuredate:n:UNIT:%fmt%%	{date format="..." offset="..."}
%futuretime:n:UNIT:%fmt%%	{time format="..." offset="..."}

Not currently supported: contact variables (%contact:*%), date ranges (%daterange:*%), and send/navigate actions (%send_and_navigate_back%, %send_in_messaging_app%). These are preserved as literal text and flagged with a warning during import.

From a Nibit backup

If you have a Nibit backup file (.json), drop it into the import card to restore your snippets, quick links, and transforms. Duplicates are detected before import on web so you can review what will be added.
