Beeftext vs FlyMSG

Beeftext is a free Windows text snippet tool. It replaces a typed keyword with its associated snippet, using combos that connect a short trigger to longer or more complex text. It works in text areas of applications supporting copy and paste, and snippets can contain Unicode characters in any language. Suggested uses include email signatures, Markdown snippets, and text emoji. Beeftext is open source under the MIT License, with no ads or malware. The project says it neither stores typing information nor sends data to a server. It downloads a text file daily to check for updates, and that check can be disabled in application preferences. The software is in maintenance mode: no new features are planned, although fixes for major issues may be provided. Xavier Michelon develops and manages it. The README says the project is not seeking contributors and will reject pull requests.
