Does it work everywhere?

Yes! Pretty much everywhere.

Typedesk works just about everywhere you can type. The right option depends on whether you work in desktop applications, browser-based tools, or a combination of both.

Desktop applications

Typedesk provides desktop applications for Windows and macOS, including Intel and Apple silicon Macs.

The desktop app lets you insert templates in supported applications on your computer. This can include email, customer-support, communication, CRM, and document workflows.

Browser extensions

Prefer working in your browser? Typedesk provides extensions for:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Brave
  • Compatible Chromium-based browsers

The browser extension works inside supported browser fields. It supports typed shortcuts and the Alt+C or Option+C Quick Access overlay.

Can I use the desktop app and extension together?

Absolutely. They are designed to work together.

When the desktop app and browser extension are both running, the extension detects the desktop app and lets it handle shortcut insertion. This normally prevents the same template from being inserted twice.

What about mobile devices?

A quick heads-up for mobile users: Typedesk does not currently offer native iOS or Android applications.

Mobile apps are planned, but there is no announced release date yet.

Compatibility can vary by application, website, browser, and type of editable field. If an important workflow does not behave as expected, try the same template in a basic text editor.

If it works there but not in a particular application, contact support and tell us which application and version you are using. That information helps us investigate much faster.
