Overview
Espanso is a text expander: it watches for keywords you type and replaces them with longer text, code snippets or the output of a script. It's written in Rust, runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and works entirely locally with no tracking.
What it does well
Espanso works in almost any program and supports emojis, images, dates, custom scripts and shell commands. You can set app-specific configurations, fill in forms with several fields, and find snippets with a search bar. Ready-made packages are shared on the Espanso Hub.
Why it’s in the collection
Espanso is the go-to open-source text expander, with plain configuration files you can keep in version control. It's GPL-licensed.
