About Beeftext

Beeftext is a free, open-source text substitution tool for Windows. Users define combos that pair a short keyword with a longer snippet of text. When the keyword is typed in a text field of an application that supports copy and paste, Beeftext replaces it with the associated snippet. The homepage says snippets can use Unicode, so they can be in any language or use any characters.

Beeftext runs in the background and receives notice of keyboard and mouse input while it is running. The homepage states that it does not store typing data and does not send any data to a server. Its only stated network activity is a daily check for a newer version, which can be disabled in the preferences. The project is in maintenance mode, according to the directory listing.
