About
Espanso watches what you type and replaces short triggers with longer text — signatures, snippets, dates, whatever is on the clipboard, or the output of a shell command. Because the configuration is YAML, expansions can be versioned, shared and generated, and the same file works on macOS, Windows and Linux. Free and open source.
