Your Most Surprising Use for TextExpander?

This was originally an AppleScript that someone somewhere crafted for me, then TextExpander Support was kind enough to convert to JavaScript for me (I am not a coder).

It checks what time it is, then spits out “Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening” based on the time. I no longer need to check the clock before crafting an email or text.

The best part is that it works everywhere now, instead of just macOS.

var today = new Date();
var time = today.getHours();


if (time < 12) {
output ="Good morning"
} else if (time < 18) {
output ="Good afternoon" 
} else {
output ="Good evening"
}
