How Typedesk works

Save the messages you write most, assign a shortcut, and insert them wherever you work. Typedesk gives individuals and teams one organized library for faster, more consistent communication.

How Typedesk works: type a shortcut and a full response appears in any app

Trusted by 15,000+ teams worldwide

Stop rewriting the same messages

Every team has messages they write repeatedly: follow-ups, confirmations, customer answers, status updates, and internal instructions. Without a shared system, people retype them, search old conversations, or copy them from separate documents.

Teams lose hours rewriting the same messages without a shared system

Create once. Use anywhere.

Typedesk turns your most-used messages into reusable responses. Create your responses, add the details that change, and insert the completed message without leaving your workflow, across email, support tools, CRMs, chats, and documents.

1

Create your response

Write the message you want to reuse and give it a clear name. It can be a short phrase, a complete email, a support answer, or a longer document.

Create your response in the Typedesk editor and give it a clear name
2

Add personalization

Add fill-in fields for names, dates, order numbers, links, products, and other information that changes. Typedesk asks for those details whenever you use the response.

Insert it with a shortcut

Assign a memorable shortcut or open Quick Access and search by keyword. Typedesk builds the completed response and inserts it where you are typing.

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.

Helping people work smarter, not harder.

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.

A useful cross-platform tool that gets much love and attention from its developers and regular updates. From time to time, I run into issues with new updates, but these are quickly fixed by their responsive team and my overall my experience with Typdesk has been amazing.

Typedesk has helped and my company be productive everywhere, where we need to reuse text. Even when programming it's very helpful. It can act as a codesnippet database. For marketing, we have saved our brand color codes easiliy accessible by just typing :color and then selecting the color we want. The code is then automatically added to any text field. Super useful!

I love testing applications

Typesk is absolutely brilliant! It's one of the products/services i use more on my day to day, and it makes my work a lot easier. Definitely recommend people check it out (plus the new GTP feature looks very promising)

Hi! My name is David Suescun

i been using typedesk for several years, since 2021, i would say the software is great, i have windows/mac they sync perfectly, this is one of the software that i use everyday, it saves much of my time on thinking on how to answer clients, i have my FAQ in typedesk, i just search it and copy/paste into my support desks. i love it has a search function, and i can share the answers with my co-workers. so they save time on answering FAQs.

Congrats @michel_vermeulen1 on the new launch. Typedesk has hit the floor running, adding great value and features from the start. It has come a long way with each new update. Michel has always provided great support and eager to build on client suggestions. The UI/UX has improved so much and the canned responses are now super fast. With adding things like ChatGPT, we look forward to future development. Last year I wanted to use typedesk to fill out repetitive online forms and he said that it is not possible at the moment but finished the email with "But, never say never". Well, we are now in neverland.

@hak_jenkins

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 per form, but it certainly adds up.

Sumo-ling

I love that you are available on both Chrome and Desktop. I can't wait for the Safari extension and the mobile app, then you're complete.

PhillipStemann

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

rnh

I have just bee using this for 10 days and I am already loving the way it integrates with different service desks. I could not actually find a competitive alternative to typedesk.

Gu

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

Avinash.Katta

Great tool, thank you - love the structure, grouping of type of responses, easy to create ones.

ateleguz

Canned responses have been a fantastic way to save time during my onboarding process with clients along with the weekly/monthly reporting emails. Unfortunately, things got a little messy when testing out different CRMs, integrating emails, and dealing with the CRMs' built-in email templates PLUS my Gmail templates. With typedesk, this problem is solved!

JohnG23

We're loving typedesk! It's easy to use, and saves us tons of time when it comes to sending emails to our customers. The variables work well, although we wish we could have alternate email addresses assigned to each user and be able to use them in variables.

sebfontan

I use TypeDesk every day and it saves me the time and annoyance of typing repetitive text. It's seems like a small thing, saving a few seconds here, a few there, but they really do add up.
