Beeftext is now in maintenance mode.
Are you tired of repeatedly typing the same text over and over again?

Beeftext is made for you. Beeftext allows you to define combos. A combo associates a short word that you are unlikely to type in a normal situation (a keyword) with a piece of long or complex text you often need to type (a snippet). From now on, every time you type the keyword, in any text area of any application that supports copy/paste (99.9% of them do), the combo is triggered and Beeftext automatically replaces the keyword with its associated snippet. Thanks to Unicode encoding, this text can be in any language, using any kind of characters, even exotic ones.
Text substitution tools are not new. Beeftext exists because on the Windows platform, the existing solutions are either expensive, closed-source, unmaintained, complex to setup, or any combination of these. Beeftext is free - as in free beer - and contains no ad or malware.
You can verify that because Beeftext is open-source. The source code for the application, its installer, and even this web page is hosted on GitHub.
To perform its job and be able to work everywhere, Beeftext 'listens' to your keystrokes. Beeftext is notified of every keyboard (and mouse) interaction, as long as the program is running. But Beeftext does not store any information related to your typing, and absolutely no data is sent to any server for any reason. The only network activity performed by Beeftext is a daily download of a text file from the Beeftext website to check if a newer version of the application is available. This feature can be disabled in the application preferences.
