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.

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

typedesk saves me so much time! Creating a template is easy to do and these shortcuts save so much time. I'm finding new ways every week to continue optimizing my time by fine tuning my templates. The new features provide easy ways to create multiple results from a single template.

Simple app that saves an abundance of time in canned responses across browser and Mac desktop.

This is an amazing tool I have been using for about a year now. The latest version is super fast. I can prepare all the canned messages I usually use (I'm sure your like me and often use the same sentences ;). SO, it's a big THUMBS UP for Typedesk !

I love love love Typedesk. With this new update, we can use Typedesk directly for simple 1-step prompts. This would be great for generating email responses, title/metadescriptions generator etc. I can already think of some awesome use cases!

I love testing applications

My entire team uses Typedesk from sales to legal to project management. It's incredibly easy to use and saves us so much time. I've actually started saving ChatGPT prompts that I like for quick access using Typedesk as well 🙌🏼

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.

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

Avinash.Katta

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

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

I had been looking for something exactly like this for a while because others I've tried have disappointed me. I was beginning to think I would never find it.

Sumo-ling

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

ateleguz

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 when copying the text. I use it to put in my brand color codes everywhere when needed, fast reply's and so much more. Really love it.
