# SprintBrain Quickstart: Install, Sign In, and Expand

> Install the SprintBrain Chrome extension, sign in with no password, create your first snippet, and expand it anywhere in under five minutes.

SprintBrain takes about two minutes to set up. By the end of this guide you will have the Chrome extension installed, a free account created, and your first snippet expanding in any text field — no password, no credit card, and no configuration files.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the Chrome extension">
    Open the [SprintBrain page on the Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sprintbrain/khdpimdpkgmmaimpbfjgglnpaemmopoo) and click **Add to Chrome**. Confirm by clicking **Add extension** in the dialog that appears.

    After the extension installs, pin it to your Chrome toolbar so the SprintBrain icon is always one click away: click the puzzle-piece Extensions icon in the Chrome toolbar, find SprintBrain in the list, and click the pin icon next to it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in at app.sprintbrain.com">
    Go to [app.sprintbrain.com](https://app.sprintbrain.com) and enter your work email. SprintBrain sends you two things at once: a **magic link** you can click to sign in instantly, and a **6-digit one-time code** you can type directly on the page. No password is needed.

    Once you are signed in on the web, the extension signs in automatically — you do not need to enter your credentials a second time in the popup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your first snippet">
    In the SprintBrain dashboard, click **New Snippet**. Give it a name, write the body text you want to expand, and set a trigger — for example `/hello`.

    Triggers work best with a prefix (like `/` or `;`) that you would not normally type in everyday prose. You can change the default prefix at any time in Settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Expand your snippet anywhere">
    Open any website that has a text field — Gmail, Slack, a Google Doc, ChatGPT, your CRM, anywhere. Click into the text field, type `/hello`, and press **Tab**. The trigger disappears and your full snippet text takes its place instantly.

    If your snippet has dynamic fields like `{{guest_name}}` or `{formtext:}`, an inline overlay appears and asks for the values before inserting the finished text.
  </Step>
