Typing Mind Extensions allows users to embed custom JavaScript code into Typing Mind. The JavaScript code will have access to all internal data and application state of Typing Mind, allowing the users to add custom logic and application behavior to fit their workflow.

How it works

In general, Typing Mind Extensions works like a typical browser extension. The only difference is that you can install the extensions on the macOS app and mobile apps (PWA).

The user installs a new extension by providing a script URL (JavaScript), then Typing Mind will load and execute it when the app is loaded.

<aside> 💡 This feature is similar to the “Custom Code” feature in Typing Mind Custom.

Some facts:

• The URL must be hosted at a publicly accessible endpoint, must have the mime type of application/javascript or text/javascript, and can be loaded from the Typing Mind web app (proper CORS settings needed).
• Extensions are loaded once when the app starts.
• Extensions are installed locally on the user’s browser.
• Extensions are synced across multiple devices by default (included in the “Preferences” sync group)

Use cases

• Add additional backup & sync sources (AWS S3, Google Drive, private server, etc.)
• Embed a widget to Typing Mind (e.g., live chat widget)
• Adding custom keyboard shortcuts
• Customize message rendering
