Simple setup, smart features 

After installation, Ghostwriter quietly sits in the system tray. Clicking the icon opens a compact menu where you can insert saved text blocks directly at your cursor. You can also assign shortcuts for quick access. Its editor-like interface makes adding and naming text modules intuitive and efficient. 

This app’s real strength lies in its ability to remember keystrokes like tabs and enters—making it perfect for filling out forms or templates. However, it doesn’t always play nicely with all software; some applications may block or misread the inserted content, which can be frustrating in mixed environments. 

A quiet boost for busy typists 

If your daily routine involves repeated phrases, forms, or templates, Ghostwriter can be a huge time-saver. While it’s not flawless, its lightweight nature and simple interface make it a useful companion for boosting typing efficiency without the learning curve of complex automation tools.
