Same result.
Three clicks, not three lines of script.

Most automation tools assume you'll learn their syntax. Trigr assumes you have better things to do — like everything else on your to-do list.

In AutoHotkey

Open VS Code, run dev server

; Ctrl+E — open project, start dev server
^e::
  IfWinExist, ahk_exe Code.exe
  {
    WinActivate
  }
  Else
  {
    Run, "%LocalAppData%\Programs\
        Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" "C:\Projects\Trigr"
  }
  Sleep, 1500
  Send, ^`` ; toggle terminal
  Sleep, 500
  SendInput, npm run dev{Enter}
return
14 lines, in a separate .ahk file. Reload to take effect. Powerful if you write AHK every day — opaque to anyone who needs to edit it later but doesn't.

04Built for

You're typing things
your keyboard could do.

Trigr is for people who want to move faster on Windows without learning a scripting language. Built for my own civil-engineering team — because every tool we tried was either too complex or too limited.

Office & admin

Type /sig and get your full signature. Type /addr and get your office address. Set it up once — works in every app, forever.

Support & ops

Type the same 10 responses a hundred times a day? Text expansions fix it in two minutes. No IT ticket. No permission needed. No training.

Power users & developers

Fire boilerplate, open terminals, remap shortcuts per app. App profiles keep your Ctrl+E out of Outlook. Visual setup, zero scripting.

"
Every Windows automation tool I tried was either too complex or too locked-down. So I built the one I wanted — for engineers, admins, and anyone else who needs the keyboard to do more without a programmer in the loop.

05How it works

From zero to working
hotkey in 60 seconds.

No config files. No syntax. No IT ticket. If you can click a key on a keyboard, you can automate it.

01

Pick a modifier.

Click Ctrl, Alt, Shift or Win. The visual keyboard shows what's already assigned and what's free — at a glance, no guessing.

02

Click a key.

Any letter, number, function key — even mouse buttons. Pick one of seven action types: Type Text, Send Hotkey, Run Macro, Open App, Open URL, Open Folder, or AHK Script.

03

Hit Assign.

Live in every app right now. No restart. Edit anytime in two clicks. Switch profiles to scope it per-app, or share configs across your whole team.

06Questions

The questions you're
about to ask.

Built solo, shipped solo, supported solo — happy to answer anything else over email.

Is it really free?
Yes — fully free during Beta and the core feature set stays free at v1.0. Pro and Teams licences ship at v1.0 with extras (advanced analytics, shared snippet libraries, admin management). Everyone testing now gets early access and a thank-you discount at launch.
How is this different from AutoHotkey?
Trigr ships with AutoHotkey built in — both v1 and v2 — so any script you have today still runs. The difference is everything else: visual setup, app profiles, voice commands, text expansions, quick search, clipboard history. AHK becomes one of seven action types, not the only one.
Does it phone home? Where does my data live?
Everything stays on your machine. Config, clipboard history, analytics — all in plain JSON and SQLite files in your %LOCALAPPDATA%. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry. Voice commands (currently experimental) run locally via the Windows speech engine — no audio is ever transmitted.
Will my IT team allow it?
Trigr is a single ~10MB executable. No installer, no admin rights, no system services, no network calls outside the optional update check. It runs entirely from your user folder and uninstalls in one click. Most enterprise IT departments approve it as a standard productivity tool — or run it from a network share without ever installing it.
Will it work in Outlook / Excel / Revit / Slack?
Yes. Trigr works at the OS level using low-level keyboard hooks — the same mechanism every Windows shortcut already uses. If you can type into the app, Trigr works in it. No per-app integration required.
Does it slow my computer down?
No measurable impact. ~30MB of RAM and effectively 0% CPU when idle. The keyboard hook is callback-driven (no polling) and per-key processing is sub-millisecond. You won't notice it's running.
Can my whole team share configs?
Yes — point Trigr at a shared folder (network drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) and everyone on your team gets the same hotkeys, expansions and macros. Live-synced, file-watcher-backed, conflict-managed. Handy for support teams, ops, or anyone with a shared playbook.

Your keyboard.
Trigr it.

Core features are free, always. Pro and Teams licences land at v1.0 — everyone testing now gets a thank-you discount at launch.
