Hey Ryan! Good to see you again :)
After 400+ hours of user interviews for the past year, our biggest learning so far was the validation of our hypothesis regarding the value of "output-based work system". Our users (entrepreneurs, early startups, business teams, etc.) have been facing much frustration using existing file management & project management tools because "actual work" and "managing work" have always been a separate concept. This adds to the problem of information silo and fragmented workflow.
Typed is structured in a way that all of the activities of the users are geared towards building and sharing the output, while Typed takes care of the rest. As a collaboration tool, we believe people should only focus on what matters while the tool streamlines the work experience for them. Amazing collaborative work tools/infra exists for designers (Figma) and developers (Github, Gitlab) but not for knowledge workers whose work is primary document-based. We plan to change that.
As part of TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200 our team will be in SF in October, and if your time allows, we would love to tell you more about Typed!

😺 Hello Product Hunt 😺
Brian here, Co-Founder & Head of Product at Typed. It’s an honor to share our first (official) launch! We have so much ❤️ for the Product Hunt community and have been preparing this launch for well over a year now. We couldn’t be more excited to finally share Typed⏎ with you all 😊
For a detailed overview of Typed and its features, check out our beginner’s guide here: https://typed.do/blog/product/th...
And as a little thank you to the Product Hunt community, you can grab an exclusive discount code for your first three months of Typed for only $1/month.
Now, in the immortal words of Jay Z, allow us to re-introduce ourselves…
🙋🏻♂️Who we are
At Team Typed, our mission is to make work easier, more efficient, and more fun. Our team is only two years old 👶 but is currently the fastest growing startup in Korea 🇰🇷. An official partner of Google, Typed is used across 100+ countries 🌐, primarily by tech startups and business owners like yourselves, and we have attracted significant investment from both VCs and Angel Investors.
👀 What is Typed?
Typed is a document editor and collaboration tool that revolutionizes knowledge management to act as your team’s second brain through some really smart features and AI 🤖
Currently, we waste two hours every day looking for the information we need to get work done. That’s like hiring five people and having one of them literally never show up! At Typed, we’ve redesigned the way our users collaborate by connecting their documents and adding significantly more power to them.
⁉️ Why Typed?
Here are some of Typed’s key features that help teams work smarter:
🤝 Google Integration
Typed integrates directly with your Google Drive. You can import all the documents that are in your Google account, and the work you do in Typed is automatically added to your Drive in a Shared Folder.
Typed’s Document Editor will also be familiar to Google users, as it uses the same Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides interface, but with a number of new features that add a lot more functionality to your documents.
The idea is that rather than replacing the document editing tools that you and your team are familiar with, Typed syncs up with them and adds to their power and organization.
📖 The Resource Library
Every document in Typed comes with its own Resource Library. Here you can add other documents, files, and resources from the internet, your local device, and your past work. The more you use Typed, the more it understands your work, and begins to recommend relevant resources to speed up your creation process while you work.
🧠 Knowledge Network
In Typed, documents and the resources you use to create them are organized contextually rather than hierarchically (Folder > Sub Folder > Sub Folder > File). We do a number of cool things with this, but one of our users’ favorite features is the ability to see a visual mindmap of how all the documents in a project relate to each other using our Knowledge Network.
Along with offering valuable insights on the relationship between the work you and your team are doing, this makes it much easier to find files quickly by browsing visually. Once you’ve added your work to Typed, you’ll never lose it!
🔎 Split Screen Viewer
In Typed, you can edit and view two documents simultaneously. This massively improves productivity, and allows our users to escape the inefficient practice of having 400+ tabs open on their computer while they work on a document. When a user clicks on a resource in a Typed document’s Resource Library, it loads instantly, allowing them to grab the information they need without ever breaking flow.
📱 Mobile App
We are so excited to have launched a new Mobile App in time for our Product Hunt launch! In our Mobile App you’ll find all of the same functionality as our Web App, but fully optimized for mobile allowing you to supercharge your productivity on the go.
🗂 Templates
Our community has already done a lot of cool things within Typed. We’ve taken the best examples of their work and turned them into templates so all of our users can benefit. Currently we have templates for OKRs, Brainstorming, Weekly Checklists, Meeting Notes, and Pitch Decks, with more coming soon!

Happy Typing ⏎

@bri_shin Tremendously WOW! Amazing product, Congratulations on the launch.
If you need any digital marketing and brand awareness assistance , I'd be happy to help.
Hello everyone, it's great to be back on Product Hunt after a full year since our beta! 👼
We launched on PH in Feb. 2021, and we're super excited to be here again with a completely upgraded product ⏎
Initially we launched as an individual note-taking tool, and after literally thousands of user interviews since last year, we have scaled the product to a fully collaborative tool very much focused on revolutionizing how teams manage digital knowledge so that you can get work done 💪
The old document and the traditional way of organizing it need to change. Entrepreneurs and businesses need a new kind of document that’s more intuitive and adaptable to their dynamic needs. This is where Typed comes in.
Typed is more than a document editor. It’s a knowledge management and document editing tool that organizes information for entire teams. Here is more on Typed's Manifesto: https://typed.do/blog/product/th...
Finally, it's incredible to be back in Product Hunt community ❤️
Knowing how much of a privilege this is, we've prepared a small gift 🎁
Please check out our exclusive promotion for this launch: instead of $10 per month, you get 90% discount with the PH coupon code! Share it with as many people as possible. The more the merrier!
Thank you to all the makers around the world, and it's an honor to be alongside you all 🙏 🙏 🙏
@rithvikpodduturi Hi Rithvik! The expiration to redeem is by the end of the year and the coupon is effective for three months from the date of redemption!
By far, Typed is literally no brainer! You don't need to use your brain capacity but just to use Typed for any document associated collabrations at global scale
@markatsendbird Thank you for the good words Mark! We will make sure to continue innovating until the day we revolutionize every startup's knowledge management. Truly appreciate your support!
This looks amazing! I can totally relate to the situation where a lot of time is wasted looking for different documents. I'm sure this will help solve that problem while streamlining the workflow.
Great job! Congratulations on the launch!🚀
While I get the philosophy here, I wish you’d gone for a robust proprietary markdown friendly editor that then *speaks to gdocs and others* - versus *sitting atop gdocs.*
Maybe it’s just me - I just find the Google Docs ecosystem to have not kept up with the times in terms of smoothness and usability.
I realize I’m probably in the minority however and that this will be a deeply useful product for lots of people… in that sense, then: great job and congrats! :)
Hello @graham_seymour!
What a timely feedback as we are releasing our own Typed Editor in the second week of October! Typed Editor will allow you to freely link docs & files, create tasks, etc. Although the first version will be a rough version, we plan to upgrade it throughout the year!
Hope you enjoy using Typed!
Hey, @bri_shin great product going on here. I love the website, especially the "before" and "after" Typed section. It really drives the problem you and the team are solving. I think your billing is quite reasonable too. You might want to consider when a user is "getting started" (using the google sign-in option), showing the user that they're being signed in - there's a 5-second delay before moving to the dashboard screen. Can't wait to take Typed for a ride :)
Hey @derrick_abincha! Thank you for such detailed feedback on our website. We'll look into the issue that you have specified!
Hope you enjoy using Typed :)
Hello everyone! It's great to be back since our beta last year!
Today we are launching our official Typed 1.0 on ProductHunt and our team is extremely excited to share our product with all you guys in this amazing community.
The biggest upgrade? We finally built a product for teams to use collaboratively, increasing the efficiency of not only individual users, but entire teams. Today, we are continuously building a product that will revolutionize collective knowledge management.
In addition, we have added a mobile app that will allow you to view your docs wherever you are. Now, manage you and your team's docs on the move!
Maker's favorite feature?
Typed is full of fun and productive features, but my personal favorite is the "Review" feature. This feature allowed me to keep track of docs that I have shared to my team members and docs that have been shared to me. Basically it functions like a Task Manager or Email for docs!
Just because we are extremely excited to be back, we've prepared a small gift 🎁
Please check out our exclusive promotion for this launch: instead of $10 per month, you get 90% discount with the PH coupon code! Share it with your friends!
Thank you to all the makers and innovators around the world 🙏 🙏 🙏
Good to see Typed here. I have liked this since the beta. I like the approach to Personal Knowledge Management and the ability to create team projects. Hoping to test the mobile app. Congrats and good luck.
Such a nice tool. Upvoted. Wish you the best of luck. Can't want when you implement more native integration so we can work better haha...Don't forget to add a calendar and an email so we will be able to create a note from email and pass it over to calendar as a task :)
@david_kocsis1 Hey David, all of those things you mention are actually in our roadmap. Know that we're working day and night to ship you those features ASAP! Thank you for your support!
Initially i was not sure how to use it. But then i saw few webinar by them and also thier videos on YouTube and reluctantly started using the tool. But i must say, my reluctance soon changed to necessity and now i am using it daily.
It's refreshingly easy and effective tool. Well done team typed. Best wishes to you guys. Rise and shine 🌟
Congratulations @bri_shin on your PH launch 🙌
Typed is a really nifty tool for document management and the team behind is great, they’ve already come a long way in terms of developing the product!
Awesome tool. Been using Typed for a couple of weeks. Talked to Brian Shin this morning, and I was blown away! I haven't been using Typed to the fullest! I was very impressed with updates they roll out very frequently that Typed gets better and better everyday. Here is a link to the live stream with Brian where he showed us how to use Typed to organize knowledge. https://swiy.co/nttyttyped@bri_shin Congratulations! Awesome product! A product that will definitely get users hooked!
I've been using it since the beta, and now it's hard to imagine writing a document without Typed.
This tiny tool changed the whole process of writing documents!
@wejustneedafewdetails Hey Junsang! It's been a awhile - hope you're doing well! Hope you enjoy this launch, and please swing by our office when you can!
@bri_shin Yeah, this 2.0 update is truly mindblowing!!
Congrats on this update, and please keep it up for knowledge workers!
... and I'll come over to your office as soon as possible. Thanks for not forgetting me :)
