Looks like a neat idea but having any kind of keylogger installed in my machine gives me second thoughts(a keylogger has the same principle of intercepting typed words and tags but instead of replacing them according to a backend system it sends the text away or store so some other party can read)

Author here :) This is definitely a good concern to have, though Espanso was built with security in mind, so the keys you press are not logged anywere. We keep the last N in memory (with N being usually between 5 to 30 chars) to do the matching, and discard them as soon as possible
If I recall correctly Espanso also detects and auto-disables itself for password inputs correct?
