   SO much better than PhraseExpress!

   This setup is a little more hands on to install and setup, but it is worth it. No weird glitches, crashing or other issues, it just a simple system works as it should.

   It doesn't have all the same features as PhraseExpress, but if you are like me and just want a text expander, they are features you will never need or use anyway.

   The setup instructions are clear and concise. They do take a minute to get your head around compared to other software installs that I am used to, but as the instructions are on point, it is not difficult.

   I am using this on macOS and will be trying it on Windows soon too.

   🏁 Competitors: PhraseExpress

   👍 Pros:    Works perfectly|Cost effective|Great, clear setup instructions

   👎 Cons:    Requries some more setup beyond the usual 'double click' and done

• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file. https://espanso.org/ It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• IrfanView

  I haven't used Ditto so I don't know how closely macOS clipboard managers compare to it, but there's certainly a fair number of programs for the Mac out there that sound similar to Ditto's own description, from the free, open source Maccy to the somewhat over-the-top $13 Pastebot. There are other utility programs that include similar functionality; personally, I'm using Alfred, a keyboard-driven launcher,... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Little macOS Apps That Make a Big Difference in 2024

  My favourite discovery for 2023 was https://maccy.app/ which provides a Windows-style clipboard history. It covers off one of the few things I love from Windows. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

  Hi I have went on the same journey couple days and I really liked maccy and I would for sure used it but it ended up having a very annoying bug where it would glitch whenever I pin something. Source: 6 months ago
