Introduction > What is Fingertips?

'Making Windows a better place'

Fingertips is a small but very powerful utility that makes it easy to start applications, open documents, surf to your favorite websites or add information to Microsoft Outlook. It also helps you to type faster by providing acronyms for common typed phrases throughout Windows.

This new version of Fingertips adds quite a few improvements, and now includes a Twitter client too!

Fingertips is created by Taco Oosterkamp, expert in working smarter. Originally he built it for himself - to make it a whole lot easier to add information to his trusted Getting Things Done system in Microsoft Outlook. Once when using Fingertips on stage, the audience asked him to make this nifty program available to them too. He hesitated a bit and then created www.getfingertips.com which made Fingertips a favorite tool in use by thousands of people each and every day.
