Hi Franz, sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with Breevy. Please feel free to shoot us an e-mail at

and we’d love to try and figure out what’s going on and hopefully get it fixed for you.

(I actually think I might know what’s happening with the lowercase “i” always being changed to a capital “I”—I could be wrong but my guess is that your “i” abbreviation’s replacement mode is set to “immediately” (lightning bolt icon). If you switch it to “after a word-ending character is typed” (blue icon with white “W” on it) and then Apply your changes, that should make it so Breevy only replaces the lowercase “i” with a capital “I” if it’s typed as a single word rather than also at the beginning of words. Regarding the issue of your name being misspelled, I’m not sure what would be causing that other than it being misspelled in the abbreviation’s replacement text, but again, feel free to e-mail us at

and we’d be happy to troubleshoot the issue with you if you like.)
