so i made this thing called runtexts. it's a python cli tool that automates typing and sending messages. basically you tell it what to type, how many times, and how fast, and it does it for you.
similar project with nodejs ssspeedx
https://github.com/iamovi/ssspeedx
what it does
- sends messages automatically with custom delays
- simulates typing (fast bot mode or slow human mode)
- has both cli and gui interfaces
- can run infinitely or for a set number of times
why i built it
honestly i got tired of manually testing chat interfaces during development. needed something quick to spam test messages without wearing out my keyboard. turned it into a proper package because why not.
how to use it
install from pip:
pip install runtexts
or install manually from github:
git clone https://github.com/iamovi/project_runtexts.git
cd project_runtexts
pip install .
run it:
runtexts
or use the gui:
runtexts gui
tech stack
- python
- pyautogui for keyboard automation
- tkinter for the gui
- packaged for pypi
legitimate use cases
before someone asks - yes this can be misused. don't do that. use it for:
- testing chat applications you're building
- automated testing scenarios
- learning automation basics
- any situation where you have permission to send bulk messages
important
don't use this for spam, harassment, or anything shady. only use it on platforms and applications where you have explicit permission. violating terms of service or annoying people isn't cool. this tool is for legitimate automation and testing purposes only.
what i learned
dealing with cross-platform keyboard automation has its quirks. building a simple gui that doesn't look terrible takes more effort than expected. pyautogui behavior varies slightly across different operating systems.
the code is on github if you want to check it out or contribute: https://github.com/iamovi/project_runtexts
that's it. hope someone finds it useful.
