Introduction > What is Fingertips?

'All of Windows at your Fingertips'

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 January 2010 version of Fingertips adds a few improvements, and some bug fixes.

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 decided to create www.getfingertips.com which made Fingertips a favorite tool that is used by thousands of people each and every day.

Fingertips was very much inspired by Getting Things Done; a great book and system for time and stress management by David Allen (check out www.davidco.com). Thanks David!
