New user here - OBSESSED! I have been searching for a template manager for months, now. It's been very difficult due to limitations through my work and pricing. I'm over the moon I found Briskine! I LOVE the features and the ease of use. The free plan is very nice, too! I'm so excited for this! One request - could you work on a Microsoft add-in, so Briskine can be used for desktop programs, too? This is my ultimate goal. If you do, I will be subscribing for sure. Thank you so much!

Updated review: Well Briskine, you've done it. Took away attachments for free users. While I was previously a raving fan (please see glowing review below) you have now traded user experience for profit, and are losing a customer. I hadn't hit my 30 templates yet - and planned to upgrade when I did. But I will not support companies who seek to make the experience worse to drive profit. I will not be using Briskine anymore. I will not upgrade to add attachments. Having experienced the incredible heights of the free plan, I will not upgrade to get back what I used to have. It is not about cost, it's about principle. Companies need to stop doing this. Enough is enough. Stop taking away useful features from a free plan to force people to pay. It's bad business, and it leaves a bad taste in customer's mouths. Stop punishing the user for depending on your product. That's a good thing. I have highly recommended this app to many people. You are losing lifetime customers by trading value for profit. Well done, guys. Hope this is what you wanted. Old review before making free account useless: Briskine is an absolute hero to my email. And it works with Outlook, too! I have been using Outlook templates for years. They work (in a pinch) but it takes time for the app to open, load, etc. Plus, you have to switch out your old signature on Outlook templates - and you can't use any automation for names. I prefer Outlook on the web - but you can't use Outlook templates there. For years - using Outlook templates in the desktop all was as good as it possibly gets. Along comes Briskine - an immediate productivity boost! It automatically calculates how many minutes it's saved me - but I think it's way too low. Not only would I have to retype these emails - I would have to reconstruct them from my head if I didn't know what I saved it as. Half the time my Outlook would be sluggish trying to load old emails, attachments, etc. Briskine is truly an a plug in I can't live without. I use the free version, which has been more than sufficient. It autofills blazing fast. As long as you have an email address ready, or at least in your contacts, you can send a robust, detailed email with attachments in under 10 seconds. WOW. Thank you, Briskine!
