Templates for Gmail

Modern knowledge workers rely on Gmail for everything from prospect outreach to classroom announcements. Yet composing the same paragraphs—introductions, disclaimers, FAQs—over and over still wastes precious minutes. Templates for Gmail fixes that pain point with a lightweight, privacy-first browser extension that inserts reusable snippets in a single click or keystroke.

At the heart of the extension is a tiny content script that runs only on mail.google.com. It injects a floating ✎ button beside every compose window. Click the button—or press the default shortcut Alt + /—and a clean overlay lists your saved templates. Choose one and the extension immediately copies the template’s rich HTML (plus a plain-text fallback) to the clipboard and displays a toast: “Template copied! Press Ctrl + V.” In under two seconds you’ve replaced repetitive typing with a paste command, keeping your focus on personalization rather than boilerplate.

Need to add, edit, or delete snippets? Just click the toolbar icon. A lightweight popup written in vanilla HTML and JavaScript opens, displaying your existing templates with pencil and trash icons for quick edits. The editor supports full rich-text formatting—headings, lists, links—thanks to the native contenteditable element, so you can preserve brand-consistent styling without touching raw HTML.
