   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

  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 / 8 months ago
