Espanso replaces the sentences you retype all day, free on Windows, macOS, and Linux
The words you have already typed a hundred times are the cheapest work on your desk to hand off.
Espanso watches for a keyword as you type and replaces it on the spot with the text you saved under it: a mailing address, a snippet, a template, today's date. The project describes itself as open source under the GPL-3 license, says it works with most applications, and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The shortcuts live in plain configuration files for now, because the site lists a graphical editor as still planned, and the repository calls its Wayland support experimental. How-To Geek's Zunaid Ali writes that it stays fully local with no cloud sync, and that he ran into some trouble getting it to fire inside Windows Notepad.
