Desktopfreeglobal

A cross-platform, privacy-focused text expander written in Rust that replaces short keywords with longer snippets, code templates, emoji, or script output system-wide on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It reduces repeated typing and copy-paste by expanding shortcuts into full text anywhere on the system, aimed at knowledge workers and developers who reuse sentences, templates, or code.
