Subtext 1.0

A floating, keyboard-first panel for your system text replacements — press a shortcut, find what you need, copy it.

Released: 2026-08-06 · Requires: macOS 14+ · Architecture: Apple Silicon

Highlights

Raycast-style floating panel — summoned with a global hotkey, dismissed with Escape. Type to filter, arrows to navigate, Enter to copy.
Live from the system — reads your text replacements straight from System Settings; anything added while the app runs shows up on the next panel open, no relaunch.

Global hotkey with an in-app recorder (any combo).
Import replacements from a System Settings .plist export; remove entries by shortcut.
Three panel sizes (Mini / Normal / Big), Dark / Light / System themes.
Launch at login and an optional menu bar item.
About tab with version and project links.

Replacements added while the app was running never appeared until relaunch (per-process caching of the global defaults domain; the list is now read fresh on every panel open).

Download Subtext-1.0.dmg (2.2 MB), drag to Applications and open.
