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.

While our help desk does provide saved answers, I use typedesk to maintain a personal voice in my canned responses quickly and efficiently.

Jason E. left a review on Capterra

I wish you all the best with the launch. One of the tools I use every day is Typedesk, and as I use it more, it becomes more valuable to me. In all honesty, I am a happy user.

Goran left a review on ProductHunt

This app is a totally time-saver. So amazing when it comes to typing reports and email messages when I want to save time.

Dr. Gwen Smith left a review on ProductHunt

Have been using typedesk for a year, it saves so much time to not write the same again and again (names, emails, greeting formulas). And I have been beta testing the ChatGPT integration,it works as promised. Apart from not having to...

Torsten P. left a review on ProductHunt

Use for product support where repetitive replies are not as simple as using an FAQ. Easy to paste and then edit to suit individual questions. Timesaver as well as brain saver!

J GW left a review on ProductHunt

I had a couple of other tools that provided some similar functions to typedesk, but once I started to learn the additional capabilities, I dumped the others and settle on typedesk. I’ve still far from master everything that could be possibl...

Mike Foston left a review on ProductHunt

The classic investment: text once + save time over and over again.

Urs Frei left a review on ProductHunt

I have been using Typedesk for a few months, and it has saved me so much time and allowed me to send out constant messages effortlessly!

Tor Jones left a review on ProductHunt

I didn't know about other different solutions as competitors and let have a chance to this one and after testing, I've been totally happy to use it. As a web agency, I had to multiply similar answers or process for clients and whaou ! TypeD...

Frederique left a review on appsumo

Sometimes you need an app that just works, and for me that’s TypeDesk. Everyone knows it’s annoying when you copy and paste something and then you copy something else the first thing is erased and you get caught in copy and paste purgatory....

brice7 left a review on appsumo

I am a past user of textexpander. What I can already say is that I am surprised that I can do even more with this product than with textexpander. I can store different language versions. Snippets and small programs for batch automation.......

_SebastianB_ left a review on AppSumo

I didn't think it was very useful for my small business but I tried it and within a day I purchased a code! It is so awesome and helpful. Saves me loads of time and I no longer make the mistake of putting someone else’s name in an email whe...

Puck left a review on appsumo

Typedesk will speed up so many of our repetitive processes & rapidly access a library of canned responses with a click - moving quickly through docs.

paul868 left a review on appsumo

This is an extremely helpful tool. Several times a day I have to input information into a government form. Each requires that I type two identical sentences into each form. Typedesk allows me to speed throught this. Only saves a few seconds...

Sumo-ling left a review on appsumo

I used to use TextBlaze which did a great job. But their team plans start at $6.50/user/month.

rnh left a review on appsumo

I have been a longtime user of TextExpander and keyboard snippets / shortcuts from other apps. I really enjoy using apps that allow me to save time by re-typing common phrases. With the use of multiple apps, I no longer have to edit text in...

mc_sumo left a review on AppSumo

Typedesk ist ein prima Tool. Das Beste ist, dass man "Canned Responses" mit "Variablen" festlegen kann. Dies kann gerade im Support eine Menge Zeit sparen.

Marco left a review on appsumo

This software is perfect and a time saver. I've added loads in there today and have already used it multiple time's. This is a must buy 👌👌👌

darren07 left a review on AppSumo
