A Windows text automation tool built with .NET that allows you to send repeated messages to any application.
- Global keyboard hooks - Start/stop with Enter/Escape keys from anywhere
- Input simulation - Sends text to any focused Windows application
- Configurable timing - Control delay between messages (0ms to 60 seconds)
- Progress tracking - Real-time progress display with cancellation support
- Input validation - Comprehensive validation with helpful feedback
- Configuration management - Remembers settings between runs
-
Prerequisites: Windows 10/11 with .NET 9.0 runtime
-
Clone and run:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/textie.git cd textie dotnet run -
Configure your message, repetition count, and timing
-
Focus the target application where you want to send text
-
Press Enter to start, Escape to stop
- Run the application
- Enter your message text
- Set number of repetitions (1-10,000)
- Choose timing interval or set custom delay
- Review configuration and confirm
- Switch to target application
- Press Enter to begin automation
- Instant (0ms) - No delay between messages
- Rapid (50ms) - Fast automation for responsive apps
- Standard (100ms) - Good balance for most use cases
- Moderate (500ms) - Safer for slower applications
- Deliberate (1000ms) - Very conservative timing
- Custom - Specify exact millisecond delay
- Automatic confirmation prompts for large operations
- Real-time validation with impact assessment
- Emergency stop with Escape key
- Input sanitization and length limits
The application uses a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:
├── Program.cs # Application entry point
└── Core/
├── TextieApplication.cs # Main application coordinator
├── Configuration/ # Settings and validation
├── UI/ # Console interface
├── Input/ # Keyboard hook management
└── Spammer/ # Text automation engine
- Configuration Management - Type-safe settings with validation
- User Interface - Professional console UI using Spectre.Console
- Global Input Handling - Windows API keyboard hooks
- Text Automation Engine - Multi-threaded message sending with progress tracking

dotnet run- Clean Architecture - Modular design with dependency injection
- Event-Driven - Loose coupling between components
- Async/Await - Non-blocking operations throughout
- Resource Management - Proper cleanup and disposal patterns
- Spectre.Console - Rich console applications
- InputSimulatorPlus - Windows input simulation
Settings are validated in real-time with helpful feedback:
| Setting | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Message | 1-1000 chars | Text to send to target application |
| Count | 1-10,000 | Number of times to repeat the message |
| Delay | 0-60,000ms | Pause between each message |
Large operations (100+ messages or fast timing) require confirmation.
Keyboard hooks not working?
- Try running as Administrator
- Some security software may block low-level hooks
Text not appearing in target app?
- Ensure the target application has focus
- Some games/protected apps may block simulated input
- Try increasing the delay between messages
Application hangs or crashes?
- Use Escape key to emergency stop
- Restart the application if needed
- Check Windows Event Viewer for error details
