Where Does Typinator Store Sets on Mac?
Typinator keeps abbreviation sets in ~/Library/Application Support/Typinator on Mac, plus prefs plist.
Last updated
Typinator stores abbreviation sets as files inside its Application Support folder. Preferences live in a plist beside it. The main window edits both, so manual file surgery is rarely needed.
Back up the support folder and you keep every snippet, correction and date macro. Shared sets arrive as .typubset files in the same place. Pause expansions from the menu when testing new sets.
Where Typinator stores this, by platform
~/Library/Application Support/Typinator
Abbreviation sets plus extensions and statistics. Prefs in com.macility.typinator2.plist. Back up both paths with Typinator closed. Subscribe to shared sets from the app.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Typinator sets to a new Mac?
Copy the Typinator support folder plus the prefs plist to the same paths on the new Mac with the app closed. Sets, prefs and licenses travel together. Reopen once to confirm before wiping the old machine.
How do I install a shared Typinator set?
Subscribe with the set URL from the Actions menu under Sets. Typinator downloads the .typubset file into the support folder. Manage or unsubscribe from the same menu later.
