WHY MAKRO?

Video

✅ Completely free — unlimited macros, categories, and usage. No account required.
🔒 Privacy-first — AES-256-GCM encryption protects all your data. Zero-knowledge architecture means even we can't read your macros.
🤖 AI-powered — Smart Rewrite rewrites any text: make it formal, casual, or shorter — or fix grammar. Runs locally with Ollama (free) or via Makro Cloud (Pro).
⚡ Works everywhere — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and other Chromium browsers (Brave, Arc, etc.). Expands in Gmail, Zendesk, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, CRMs, and any website.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. Install Makro — add to Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. No account needed. A welcome page guides you through setup.
2. Refresh open tabs — Makro needs a page reload to work on tabs that were open before install.
3. Create your first macro — set a hotword (e.g., ".sig") and the text it expands to.
4. Type and expand — type the hotword on any website and watch it transform.

PRIVACY & SECURITY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Free tier: all data stays on your device, encrypted at rest. No ads, no third-party analytics
• Cloud sync uses zero-knowledge encryption (AES-256-GCM) — your macros are encrypted client-side before transmission
• Minimal telemetry: anonymous install ping (version, platform, locale) and anonymous weekly active-user count. No personal data collected. Optional anonymous uninstall feedback
• Local AI Only mode keeps all AI processing on your device
• Auto-clear clipboard wipes sensitive entries after a configurable delay
• Privacy policy: makroexpander.com/privacy

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Content script (all URLs) — detects hotword typing in text fields and replaces with macro content. Only reads the focused input element; does not read page content or collect browsing data
• storage — save your macros locally
• clipboardRead/Write — clipboard history and [$CLIPBOARD] placeholder
• activeTab — access the current page for macro expansion
• contextMenus — right-click menu for quick macro access
• alarms — scheduled auto-backup and sync timers
• downloads — save backup files to your device
• notifications — sync conflict alerts
