Questions before you start
Is the TypeShort download safe?
Yes. You download TypeShort's installer from typeshort.com: an .exe file for Windows or a .pkg file for Mac. Both are digitally signed by TypeShort, Inc., so Windows and macOS can confirm who made them and that nothing has changed since. On a Mac, TypeShort asks for Input Monitoring and Accessibility permission, because it has to see your keystrokes to add spaces and capitals as you type. What you type stays on your computer, and you can uninstall TypeShort at any time.
Do I need a credit card for the free trial?
No. The free trial only requires your email address, which we use to verify your account and help you get started. Try TypeShort first, and decide if you love it later.
Can I install TypeShort on more than one computer?
Yes. A single TypeShort license can be installed on up to three of your own computers. For example, many users install it on a desktop, a laptop, and a work computer under the same license.
What happens if I decide TypeShort isn't for me?
If TypeShort isn't the right fit for you, simply uninstall it before your trial ends. There is no obligation to continue, and we'd appreciate any feedback you have about your experience.
