AppLumen is a small, focused team that ships browser extensions and web tools. No fluff, no vaporware — just useful software that solves real problems.
Real products with real users. No mockups, no "coming soon."
Free text expander for Chrome
Type a shortcut like /hello and it instantly expands into a full email, reply, code snippet, or anything else you've saved. Works on any website — Gmail, Outlook, Salesforce, Zendesk, you name it.
We're building more browser extensions and web tools. We ship when it's ready — not when the roadmap says so.
AppLumen is founded and run by a developer and product maker who got tired of tools that overpromise and underdeliver.
The idea is simple: build software that does one thing well, make it free or affordable, and keep it honest. No inflated user counts, no fake testimonials, no "enterprise solutions" marketing speak.
Every product we ship is something we use ourselves. Quick Expand started because we needed a text expander that actually worked without a $50/year subscription. So we built one.
We're based in the real world, building real software. If you have an idea, a bug report, or just want to say hi — reach out.
We don't pitch concepts or sell roadmaps. If it's on our site, you can download and use it today.
No fake stats, no stock photos pretending to be our work. What you see is what we actually built.
Your data stays yours. We don't track, we don't sell, we don't even require an account.
We're a small team — your message won't end up in a queue. Pick whatever works for you.
