It uses much better technologies for keyboard recognition and has many more features. Give it a try and see for yourself! However, it's not open-source.\n\nQuickwords should still work on macOS, but it's discouraged to use, as it hasn't gotten any security updates for quite a long time now.\n\nOther alternatives to Quickwords:\n- [Raycast](https://www.raycast.com/) — free, closed-source,\n- [Espanso](https://espanso.org/) — free, open-source.\n\n## Table of Contents\n- [What is Quickwords?](#what-is-quickwords)\n- [Installation](#installation)\n    - [MacOS](#macos)\n    - [Linux \u0026 Windows](#linux--windows)\n- [Privacy and Security](#privacy-and-security)\n- [Contribution](#contribution)\n- [FAQ](#faq)\n- [Authors](#authors)\n- [License](#license)\n\n## What is Quickwords?\nQuickwords is a productivity app, to get on with your work quicker. It helps you substitute common words, phrases and paragraphs with just few key strokes. It is available on MacOS (other systems coming very soon).\nYou can check out the [website](https://quickwords.co) and [full documentation](https://quickwords.co/docs) for more information.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/asCk1Ds.png)\n\n## Installation\n### MacOS\nDownload the [latest release](https://github.com/quickwords/quickwords/releases/latest), unzip and drag `Quickwords.app` to your `Applications` folder.\n\n### Linux \u0026 Windows\nLinux and Windows versions of the app are coming soon. In the meantime all PRs are very welcome.\n\n## Privacy and Security\nQuickwords registers all global keyboard events, so it has an access to everything you type on the system. No data is saved on the system, and only 20 last keystrokes are remembered in the memory of the app. All your data should be secure.\n\nIf you discover a security vulnerability within Quickwords, please DM [@quickwordsapp](https://twitter.com/quickwordsapp). All security vulnerabilities will be promptly addressed.\n\n## Contribution\nContributions are very welcome. If you want, just drop a PR with any feature you'd like to see. If you want to help with the development of the app, you could [buy us a coffee](https://www.patreon.com/quickwords).\n\n## FAQ\n### Replacements do not work after installation\nPlease make sure you gave the accessibility access in your system preferences. If it still does not work, try restarting the app. On newer versions of macOS (including Mojave and Catalina), computer restart may be required. It seems like a bug with macOS not registering granted accessibility permission.\n\nIt appears that sometimes in Mojave and Catalina the app stops working when you open the computer after a longer period of time (like after the night). Simply go to the Login screen (ctrl+cmd+q) and log back in. The issue should be resolved. If it is not, please file an issue. If you know how to fix this or the cause of the issue, we would like to know :)\n\n## Authors\nThe app was made by [Dariusz Czajkowski](https://dczajkowski.com/) and [Grzegorz Tłuszcz](https://github.com/gtluszcz), two students from Kraków, Poland.\n\n## License\nThe Quickwords app is open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).\n","funding_links":["https://patreon.com/quickwords","https://www.patreon.com/quickwords"],"categories":["Applications","JavaScript"],"sub_categories":["Productivity","⏱️ Productivity (54)"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquickwords%2Fquickwords","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fquickwords%2Fquickwords","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquickwords%2Fquickwords/lists"}
