Breevy

Type in an abbreviation, something like “.FindMysoft” and Breevy will perform the action associated with that abbreviation. It will expand the abbreviation, it will launch a program/file/folder, or it will open a website. You get to choose the abbreviations and you get to pick what happens when these abbreviations are typed in.

Should you decide to give Breevy a try, the first thing you must do is download a 4.7MB executable onto your machine. Run this executable and you will be presented with a setup wizard that will take you through the installation process. A few clicks later you will be done with the whole thing and you’ll be able to start using Breevy.

There are two panes on the application's interface. The pane to the left presents a list of folders – when you get started with the application, you will see an Examples folders. The pane to the right presents all the abbreviations inside a selected folder. When you select an abbreviation, a third pane shows up and presents more info on that abbreviation. At the top there’s a traditional File menu and shortcuts for easily accessing Breevy’s functionality: create new abbreviation, new launcher, access the Preferences menu, and so on.

As mentioned above, Breevy works as a text expander. You can set it so that when you type in “.FindMySoft”, Breevy expands it to something like “This is a test performed by George Norman for FindMySoft.” You can easily create new abbreviations, you can efficiently manage all your abbreviations, and you can choose how Breevy expands them: immediately after you type the abbreviation, after the trigger key is pressed, or after a word-ending character is typed.

Also as mentioned above, Breevy works as an application launcher. Instead of expanding text, when you type in an abbreviation, the application can launch a file/folder or program or it can open a website.

Breevy is not free, it is free to try. You have 30 days at your disposal to evaluate the functionality this application has to offer and decide if you want to get a license.
