About Modula – Text Expander, Snippets & Email Templates (Privacy-First)
The privacy-first alternative to Text Blaze & TextExpander. All your SmartTexts and email templates stay 100% local — no account, no cloud, no tracking. From €0.83/month.
🆚 A SERIOUS ALTERNATIVE TO TEXT BLAZE, TEXTEXPANDER & ESPANSO
Same daily convenience — text expansion, snippet library, email templates — without sending your data to a third-party server. Switch in 2 minutes with our import assistant, and never switch back.
🏆 ONE OF THE MOST COMPLETE TEXT EXPANDERS ON THE MARKET
Modula centralizes your SmartTexts (text snippets) and SmartMails (email templates) in a single panel, accessible on any web page.
💸 THE PRICE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Modula Pro: €9.99 per year — just €0.83 per month.
Others can cost several times more, billed monthly.
With Modula, you're not paying for a cloud subscription. You're paying for a tool.
🎁 14 DAYS OF FULL ACCESS, NO CREDIT CARD
Every Pro feature is unlocked for 14 days. Then pick the plan that suits you:
- Free — up to 20 SmartTexts and 5 SmartMails, with no time limit
- Pro (€9.99/year) — everything unlimited, import assistant for other tools, site restrictions, duplicate manager, AutoFetch
🔄 IMPORT YOUR DATA IN 2 MINUTES
Already using TextExpander, Text Blaze, Espanso, or another tool? Modula's import assistant reads your exports (json, csv, txt, yaml) and automatically converts your variables ({name}, %filltext%, {formtext}, etc.) to the Modula format — no data loss, no manual recoding.
The assistant is included in the 14-day trial, then reserved for the Pro plan: migrate right after installing.
✨ FEATURES
📝 Expander — Type a keyword (e.g. !bj) and Modula automatically inserts your full text. Works on Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn, CRMs, and everywhere on the web.
📋 SmartTexts (snippet library) — Create, organize, and insert your texts in one click from the Sidebar (floating panel) or the Launcher (Ctrl+Space). Type * followed by a category name to search only in it.
✉️ SmartMails (email templates) — Manage complete email templates: subject, recipients, body, and dynamic variables. Insert in one click or generate a pre-filled mailto link. A feature no direct competitor offers in this form.
⭐ Overbar — A favorites bar appears above every input field.
⚡ SelAction — Select text on any page to display a contextual toolbar with your SmartMails and quick actions.
🔢 Dynamic fields — dates, time slots, single or multiple choice lists, selected text, or your own fields to fill in to personalize every insertion.
🖱️ AutoCopy — Arm a field in the insertion form, then select text on the page: it lands in the field right away. On a date or time field, Modula recognizes the date and time written in your selection — in figures or spelled out.
🔗 AutoFetch (Pro) — Link a field to an element on a page: a customer name in your CRM, a tracking number. When the form opens, Modula fetches the value from your open tabs; you check, then confirm. Nothing it reads is saved.
🗂️ Categories — Organize by project, client, or team, with an icon and an order of your choice, used in every menu.
🌐 Site restrictions (Pro) — Limit a category or a tool to specific sites: your support templates only show up in your support tool.
🧰 Toolbox — Turn on only the tools you use and set each one up in its own tab.
💾 Backup — A reminder when your library has changed, or a daily automatic backup, stored locally. Built-in integrity check and repair.
🕘 History & trash — Every item keeps its previous versions, a deleted item stays 30 days in the trash, and an unlucky import or conversion can be undone in one click.
🩺 Data health — A daily report on your library (backup, duplicates, empty categories…) in the icon menu, with the button to act on it.
👥 Duplicates (Pro) — Find items with the same title, keyword or content, and compare them side by side.
🔁 Conversion — Turn a SmartText into a SmartMail and back, one at a time or in bulk.
🌙 Light / dark theme, adjustable text size
📖 Full documentation and a guided introduction to get started
🔒 100% local — Your data never leaves your device. No account required, zero telemetry.
🌍 Available in French, English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese (Brazil).
