Coming soon Windows

KeyBastion

Hotkeys, macros, text expansion and automation for Windows.

What it is

KeyBastion in a paragraph

KeyBastion lets you give any action a key: open a folder, paste a snippet, resize a window, run a sequence of clicks and keystrokes. Text expansion turns short codes into the paragraphs you type every day. Everything is recorded and edited in plain English, with a script mode for the people who want it.

Planned for the first release

  • Global hotkeys for apps, files, folders, windows and scripts
  • Macro recorder with editing, loops and waits
  • Text expansion with fields, dates and clipboard variables
  • Window management: snap, move, always-on-top, per-app layouts
  • Per-app profiles and a visual editor; script mode for power users
  • Runs without administrator rights; nothing sent anywhere

This page describes what we intend to build. There is nothing to download yet, and we do not take pre-orders. When KeyBastion is ready it will be listed as available on the products page. Have a job in mind for it? Tell us through the feedback form.
