FastKeys

What FastKeys is

FastKeys is a Windows automation tool that combines text expansion with shortcuts, commands, and start menus. Its Text Expander replaces abbreviations with words or paragraphs and can simulate key presses. The software can record keystrokes and mouse actions to automate tasks, and the site lists more than 500 ready-to-use templates. Users can share phrases while keeping shared settings separate from private settings. Professional includes Grid, Excel, Calc, and Mail functions; documentation also describes using Microsoft Outlook to send mail automatically. Enterprise provides locked settings, silent company-wide deployment, shared settings, and usage analytics for administrators. The Enterprise page says FastKeys works offline. The maker says settings and data stay local and keyboard input is not sent anywhere; its privacy policy says text input and clipboard contents are not transmitted without prior approval, though the software may optionally check online for updates. FastKeys offers a fully featured trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Personal is $29 a month billed as a lifetime license, and Professional is $39 a month billed as a lifetime license.
