What is Breevy?

Breevy is a text expander and AutoText program for Windows that helps you type faster and more accurately by allowing you to abbreviate long words and phrases -- saving you time and money.

Simply define an abbreviation for a longer piece of text, like eml for JohnDoe@email.com.

Then, in the future, instead of typing that longer piece of text, type the abbreviation you associated with that text in any application, and Breevy will automatically replace it for you, instantly. Think of how much time youll save!

Breevy has the ability to import your TextExpander snippets as well as sync with them via Dropbox, so even if youre away from your Mac and are using Windows -- perhaps youre at work, or you own a Windows PC in addition to a Mac -- you can still use your snippets.

Importing and/or enabling Dropbox sync is easy, and takes just minutes. After that, you can start using your existing TextExpander snippets on Windows with Breevy immediately.

I am in software development business, so I get to type a lot during a day. I've been looking for a good text expander for Windows for some time now, tried different ones, didn't really like any of them, but once I came across Breevy, I realized that my search is over. I downloaded the trial version, ran it and it was immediately clear to me, that it is precisely what I wanted. I went ahead and purchased a license right away. Breevy is simple yet very powerful and user friendly text expander, with lots of nice features. Support is great too, btw! Give it a try, you won't regret it.

Disappointing.
No dates entry, which I NEED all day, every day. So there is no dates formatting.
Personaly I found preferences overly busy., and imports just too many.
Focus appears to be on MS-Office.
There is no list-picker, so user must remember all "prompts" to paste

In its hay-day in 2009 Breevy might have been popular. Last update was 2016 confirming it is discontinued.
At $35 USD it is now overpriced.
