Make Your Keyboard Do More Than Just Type For You!

I built Taurine: a fast, cross-platform, local-first text expander and keyboard automation tool written in Rust.

What it does:

- Text expansion: >em expands into your email address
- Hotkeys: press a hotkey like Alt + Y to open YouTube, GitHub, apps, or anything else
- Scripts: type shortcuts like >gs to run commands like git status
- Inline math: >5+2 expands to 7
- Inline AI: type >ai, write your prompt, hit space, and get the response where you’re typing

Examples:

>em      → jane.doe@gmail.com
Alt + Y  → open YouTube
>gs      → git status
>5+2     → 7

We currently have a working core engine, CLI, and TUI. I’m working on an easy to use, cross-platform GUI next.

I’d really appreciate feedback, ideas, bug reports, and a star if you find it useful ⭐
