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.

The ability to share folders with others is broken. That was the feature we were most excited about. Everyone on our team has a setapp account, please let us collaborate on shortcuts.

Sorry about the confusion. Team sharing is not supported for Typedesk accounts through Setapp because Setapp does not currently support this type of shared-team setup. Typedesk team sharing works as expected in the regular, non-Setapp version of Typedesk. If collaboration on shortcuts and folders is essential for your team, please use the direct Typedesk subscription instead.

I really love using for my daily workflows. However, I recently noticed the "Clipboard history", I have a major concern regarding privacy and security. Sometimes I copy sensitive data, such as passwords or personal information!

Hi Napat, thank you for sharing this concern. It’s completely understandable to be cautious about your privacy. Typedesk needs clipboard access because it works by placing your selected template content into the clipboard and pasting it into the app you are using. However, your clipboard data stays on your computer and is never sent to Typedesk’s servers or shared with anyone else. Would having the option to disable Clipboard History in the app settings address your concern? We’d really value your input as we improve the feature and clarify its privacy controls. We take privacy seriously and appreciate you flagging that this could be clearer in the app.
