What FastFox is

FastFox is a text expander for Windows and macOS that helps you insert reusable phrases, paragraphs, documents, and images. Create as many shortcuts as you need, with no limit on the length of the expanded text. Expansions can use plain text or rich formatting, and shortcuts can insert images such as a company logo. FastFox can also learn phrases you type often and offer suggestions as you write.

For more involved tasks, combine keys such as Ctrl, Alt, and Shift into macros that work in programs. FastFox runs in the background and can be used in programs including word processors and email; Microsoft Word and Outlook are named examples. Teams can store a shared shortcut file on a network to standardize stock text. The Home License is a full-featured installation without shared network shortcuts, while the Business License includes networked shared shortcuts. A free trial download is available. FastFox is made by FastFox, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
