Saved Replies for Desktop — One Tool for All Apps

Guides & How-To

GitHub has saved replies. Gmail has templates. Zendesk has macros. Intercom has saved replies. But each one is locked to its own platform.

What if you could have one library of saved replies that works in every application on your computer?

The Problem with Platform-Locked Replies

If you answer support tickets in Zendesk, reply to issues on GitHub, respond to inquiries in Gmail, and chat with colleagues on Slack, you're maintaining the same responses in four different places. When your return policy changes or a product name updates, you need to edit it everywhere.

Platform-specific saved replies also disappear when you switch tools. Move from Zendesk to Freshdesk? Your macros don't come along.

One Library, Every App

PhraseVault® stores all your saved replies in a single local database. Press Ctrl+. (or Cmd+. on macOS) in any application, search for the reply you need, and insert it. Works in:

  • Email clients — Outlook, Gmail (web), Thunderbird
  • Support platforms — Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, Help Scout
  • Code platforms — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket
  • Chat tools — Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord
  • Any text field — CRMs, project management tools, social media dashboards
