This software is unreal. It's like having a ChatGPT writing assistant on every single app I use and having all the prompts I can create at my fingertips.

Michael Montefusco left a review on

This app is a phenomenal tool.

Amazing time saver! Things that used to take several minutes now take several seconds. It reduces time, fatigue, and prevents errors. Michel is awesome at updating and maintaining the program. Highly recommended!

Clay Curtin left a review on ProductHunt

I absolutely love typedesk, and use it for a bunch of canned (and less canned, to be honest) responses, including a regular report I need to create for a client (cheating? No. Optimising it and just filling the numbers and name in [and a bi...

Brilliant text expander. Highly recommended for personal or team use.

Marcelo Bacchi left a review on ProductHunt

Typedesk is a great tool, if you feel you type something more than twice a day you can automate this text easily. Also it is able to create dinamic canned responses so you can customize the text with a few clicks. It's a must have in your p...

Juan Durán left a review on ProductHunt

Started using it a few weeks ago... it's honestly a god send [can't believe it's the only solution out there of its type]... And the beauty of it is that it's reasonably priced, the team is responsive and it just works! Can't wait f...

Tor Jones left a review on ProductHunt

I am very impressed with how the team handled my 3 star review. They reached out directly to Malwarebytes, got them the info to get the product white listed, and then followed up with me. This is a much needed product, if you type the same...

BossOfTime left a review on appsumo

Overall, good tool that does what it says. Useful if you have a lot of texts that you often reuse. Not just for emails but actually for any text or words, or emojis. Tool is simple but functional, you can group your texts into folders etc....

atis left a review on appsumo

We are a niche service industry and we get a bunch of leads and let me just say that takes up a lot of time when we could be using canned responses like a pro with typedesk. The idea is to free up time in responding so we all could use help...

kor44 left a review on AppSumo

I love typedesk! There are so many times when I need to send or reply to a message but I'm in the middle of something else. Typedesk is the perfect tool for those times because it allows me to quickly create, customize and organize set resp...

Sumo-ling left a review on appsumo

Hi, I was really happy with the use of another Text expander tool (FastKeys) so I was skipping this, but luckily I checked it out. Hey, what the heck.

EZnl left a review on appsumo

I love automation, saving time and keystrokes, and minimizing typos - so I already had text expansion set up on my computer, but it didn't work in every app.

JimHohl left a review on appsumo

Typedesk is a great tool for those who want to save time.

Avinash.Katta left a review on appsumo

Typedesk is probably the only thing that made me want to keep my job as a chat agent. The quick search is absolutely amazing and fast, I have never seen a search like that. So many tags to make it easy. I have told my co-workers about this...
