FlitKey is a lightweight, open-source Linux and Windows desktop text expander designed to create reusable text snippets and insert them instantly using typed keywords, global hotkeys, or a searchable quick-insert picker.

Built with Python and PyQt6, FlitKey operates completely locally and dynamically adjusts its runtime behavior based on whether you are running Linux (X11/Wayland) or Windows.

Features

  • Expansion Packs Manager: Instant access to pre-built, domain-specific snippet expansion packs for AI Chatbot prompts, Developers, Artists & Designers, Customer Support, System Admins, and Everyday Productivity.
  • Snippet Manager: A clean PyQt6 interface to manage, preview, toggle, edit, and search snippet triggers.
  • Live Search Filter: Real-time filtering in the main snippet manager to find snippets by label, type, keyword, or preview text.
  • Global Hotkeys: Triggers expansions via custom key combinations (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+A).
  • Wayland Clipboard Fallback: Copies snippets to the system clipboard and notifies the user if native keyboard simulation is restricted.
  • System Tray Integration: Access quick insert, pause/resume, or settings from a dedicated tray menu.
  • Interactive Snippet Picker: A searchable overlay window to select and insert snippets on demand.
