How it works

Espanso detects when you type a keyword and replaces it while you're typing.

Smarter typing

No more copy and pasting, create templates once and let Espanso do the rest for you.

Customer support replies, sales pitches, medical reports, you name it. Espanso got you covered.


Every sentence, one search away

Don’t remember a shortcut? No worries.

Just press ⌥+Space and Espanso’s search bar will open, letting you search for the perfect snippet.

Dates, Emojis 🚀, and more...

Don’t wrap your head around dates. Espanso makes it easy to use them, both past and future ones.

Bring emojis 🤠 in all your favorite apps, one shortcut away.


Endless extensibility

Extend Espanso’s capabilities with packages, or create your owns and share them with the community on the Espanso Hub.

Need to insert mathematical notation? Or perhaps german accents? We got a package for them.

We even got the shrug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Advanced features

For advanced use-cases, you can extend Espanso’s snippets with shell commands or custom scripts.

No more copy-pasting from the terminal, inject the output into applications directly.

You can even forward form values into custom scripts, opening up endless possibilities.

And also
System-wide integration
