v0.4.0

FlitKey is a free, open-source, 100% offline text expander with a real GUI, for Linux and Windows. Type a short trigger, get a full block of text — in any app, with no cloud, no account, and no telemetry.

What's new in v0.4.0

  • Wayland session enhancements — improved auto-detection of Wayland desktop sessions and streamlined clipboard notifications.
  • Multi-format importer speedups — optimized batch parsing for large Espanso (.yml) and AutoHotkey (.ahk) libraries of 1,000+ snippets.
  • Windows installer fixes — added silent install flags (/VERYSILENT) for enterprise deployment scripts.

Install

Debian / Ubuntu / Mint / Pop!_OS

wget https://github.com/swarajnandedkar/FlitKey/releases/download/v0.4.0/flitkey_0.4.0_all.deb
sudo apt install ./flitkey_0.4.0_all.deb

Windows 10/11 — download FlitKey-Setup-0.4.0-x64.exe below.
The installer is not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will show "Unknown Publisher" — choose More info → Run anyway.

Platform support

Feature X11 Wayland Windows
Typed keyword expansion Yes No (clipboard fallback) Yes
Global hotkeys Yes No Yes
Snippet picker insertion Yes Clipboard fallback Yes
Tray controls / autostart Yes Yes Yes

Wayland does not permit global keystroke interception at the protocol level, so typed triggers and global hotkeys are unavailable there for every text expander, FlitKey included. On Wayland, use the snippet picker with clipboard paste.
