Why should I install the browser extension?

Here's the easy rule: choose the version that matches where you do most of your writing.

The Typedesk browser extension is a great fit if most of your work happens inside your browser. It gives you access to your templates through typed shortcuts and Quick Access, without requiring the desktop app.

Choose the desktop app if you also want to use Typedesk in supported applications outside your browser, such as desktop email clients, documents, chat tools, and other software.

Can I install both?

Yes, you can.

When the Typedesk desktop app is running, the browser extension detects it and lets the desktop app handle text insertion. This helps prevent the same template from being inserted twice. No keyboard tug-of-war!

Whichever version you choose, test Typedesk in the websites, applications, and text fields that matter most to your workflow.
