About this app

Features supported,
1. No internet used, maximum privacy.
2. Text expander feature with configuration support for the cross platform text expander, "Espanso" on PC.
3. Forms support for list, choices and multi-line forms from Espanso.
--------------------

This app uses the Accessibility API!

This app uses Accessibility API to detect whether a saved shortcut is typed and replace it with a corresponding phrase.

--------------------------------

NOTE: Espanso configuration YML files will take a few tries to parse correctly. Try removing some matches, and make sure it's compliant with the YML specs. Some working examples are provided below for your convenience to copy and paste. Please also note that only the following extensions are supported -> date, random and echo. Finally, note that not all espanso/rust chrono date time formats are supported. Supported formats are,
- %Y, %m, %b, %B, %h, %d, %e, %a, %A, %j, %w, %u, %D, %F, %H, %I, %p, %M, %S, %R, %T, %r
You can further customize date time formats by referring to the C# DateTime.ToString() method documentation from Microsoft.

Unfortunately this is probably not something I could fix. Some mobile phone brands do not actually turn on the accessibility services. There is no other way to achieve the required functionality other than using accessibility services. Try to find newly added settings such as: 1: Disable battery optimization 2: Turn on auto-start or similar

This app saved my productivity at work!! I used Texpand for years, even paying the high $20 for a premium license. Well as of yesterday it looks like not only was my premium revoked but they are now charging $14.99 PER WEEK for the same features I had previously. I found this app in my desperate search and couldn't be happier. I even bought a second version on my personal phone to leave this review. Thank you so much dev!!!!
