Poof works by letting you create shortcuts that expand into longer text. Here’s how to add snippets:

1. Click the Add Snippet or + button inside Poof.
2. In the shortcut field, type a short code you want to use (like addr for your address).
3. In the content field, type the full text you want this shortcut to expand to.
4. Save the snippet.

To use a snippet, just type the shortcut anywhere in your PC (in documents, emails, browsers, etc.), and Poof will replace it with the full text.

⚙ Poof Settings You Might Want to Adjust

Poof gives you simple options to fit your needs:

• Auto-start with Windows: Enable this if you want Poof to run automatically when your PC boots.
• Trigger key: Choose which key you press after a shortcut to expand it (for example, space or enter).
• Sync snippets: Save your snippets to a cloud service if you want to use them on multiple devices.
• Notifications: Turn on or off pop-up alerts when a snippet expands.

---

🐞 Troubleshooting and Tips

• If snippets do not expand, check if Poof is running in the background. You can see it in the system tray near the clock.
• Make sure the shortcut you type exactly matches the snippet shortcut you created.
• Restart Poof if it stops responding.
• If you see no installer file for Windows on the release page, look for a .zip file and follow included instructions.

🔒 Privacy and Data

Poof only saves your snippets locally on your device unless you choose cloud sync. Your text snippets are not shared with others.
