Tired of typing the same things over and over? Typedesk lets you create simple shortcuts for anything you type repeatedly — email replies, signatures, code snippets, you name it. Works seamlessly across your Mac apps, so you save time wherever you work.
Create shortcuts for repeated text snippets
Insert templates with a few keystrokes
Works in every app on your Mac
Sync shortcuts across all your devices
Typedesk features
Speed up typing
Type a short abbreviation and watch it instantly expand into the full text. Type 'addr' and your complete address appears — just like that. Works in every app you already use, from email to messages to documents. Your fingers will thank you.
Build a snippet library that's yours
Save the emails, greetings, and phrases you type every day. Organize them into folders, find what you need in seconds, and insert it without breaking your flow. The more you use it, the more it works for you.
Make every snippet smarter with variables
Add personalized details like names, dates, or custom fields directly inside your snippets. Choose from multiple options on the fly with multi-select variables. Stop rewriting the same message just to change a few words.
Type in any app, on any device
Typedesk works everywhere on your Mac: email clients, browsers, chat apps, and code editors. Your shortcuts sync across your devices so you're always productive, wherever you are.

App version: 3.3.3
This is the app I have been waiting for for a long time. Default substitution on a Mac works, however this is easier and works on any app/browset! I can’t wait to see them develop an iPhone/iPad version :-D Unfortunately it stopped working?: can not log you in with Setapp :-(

App version: 3.3.3
Wonderful app - in less than 5 minutes it has already replaced Atext (which I have been using for years but interface is a bit meh). Nice to have a fresh UI with an app that works really well - love the \ * 2 feature!

App version: 3.3.1
Issues logging in, issues expanding text. More issues resizing the window. Dissapointed, looking for an alternative.
