## What is LazyBoard?

Type less. Say more.

LazyBoard turns the messages you send every day into one-tap keys, right inside your keyboard, in any app. Save replies once, then send them in a single tap: "On my way!", "Thanks for your order", your address, your email signature, support answers, and more.

WHY PEOPLE USE LAZYBOARD
• Reply 10x faster: insert full sentences, paragraphs and emails with one tap.
• Templates that fill in the details: write "Hi {Name}, thanks for your order" once, then type the name and send.
• A place for every phrase: organize replies into color-coded folders.
• Paste photos & GIFs: save images and GIFs and send them from the keyboard or iMessage.
• Clipboard folder: keep copied text and reuse it anytime.
• Fast search: find any saved phrase in seconds.
• Synced with iCloud: your phrases stay up to date on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

PERFECT FOR
Customer support, sales, small businesses, recruiters, real estate, delivery and anyone who answers the same questions every day.

PRIVACY-FRIENDLY
Your phrases work without Full Access. Photos, GIFs and the clipboard need Full Access, which iOS requires for those features. Your data stays on your device and in your iCloud — never shared.

Free to start. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited keys and folders, photos & GIFs, and sync.

### 5/5 — It is a gem 💎

*2026-07-11, version 4.40*

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

LazyBoard is just amazing, that has completely improved my workflow. 

It’s intuitive, fast, and incredibly easy to use. The interface is clean, the features are well thought out, and it saves me a lot of time every day and all the time 💪. 

The dev team updates it constantly and is super responsive, always making improvements. You should grab the lifetime license version while it's still available—I don't think it will be for much longer, and it's going to be a real gem 💎 !

### 1/5 — messes up normal texting spellcheck

*2026-05-15, version 4.37*

this application was recommended and although it wasn’t expensive, it’s still $20 that was wasted

### 4/5 — Great App - Kinda Buggy

*2026-05-05*

I use this app primarily for  organizing my memes. Soooo buggy though...
1) The "icons" that are SUPPOSED to be editable for the folders, are not :(. 
2) App glitches 24/7. I click a photo on the keyboard & it doesn't copy. Super annoying. I was prepared to  buy the  lifetime deal but not sure if it's even worth it if such obvious bugs are allowed to fester. Like these aren't TINY bugs when they completely impact the whole purpose & functionality. It should be free until it's fixed.

Aside from that, and to have a lot of potential... But it feels half baked.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Sorry about your experience — I’ll address both points:

1. Folder icons are editable, but the Media folder is currently fixed by design. That said, we agree it should be customizable and will update this in a future release.
2. If images aren’t copying from the keyboard, it’s usually because “Allow Full Access” isn’t enabled. If it is enabled and the issue still happens, please contact us at lazyboardapp@gmail.com so we can investigate and fix it.

We take issues like this seriously and are actively improving the app. Thanks for your feedback.

### 1/5 — سيء

*2026-01-02, version 4.34*

للاسف ما تقدر تسوي نسخ للكلمات الا لما من داخل التطبيق

### 5/5 — Excellent Clipboard History Manager

*2025-11-09, version 4.33*

Since coming from Android, it's been infuriating to not have clipboard history available in IOS. Lazyboard did an excellent job solving this problem for me (I have my double tap on the back of the phone set to open Lazyboard), as well as automating standard text that's annoying to type out. It was a little pricy for the one time purchase, but cheaper than other options available. A well earned 5/5 stars!!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-10-14*

I’m a nightlife promoter in Vegas so efficiency is key! This app allows me to be quick with messaging.

### 2/5 — Good, but not great

*2025-07-10*

Thinking about going back to boards. It doesn’t seem like the developers put much into this? I have to pay for it, which is fine. But there is no way to log in,log out… so when I go from my phone to my iPad, I literally have to recreate all my replacements again. Not cool.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Sorry to hear that, but If you want to sync your phrases between your devices you just need to enable iCloud sync from More screen. No need to login because LazyBoard don’t require logging. Please contact us at lazyboardapp@gmail.com to help you. Thanks.

### 3/5 — Sincronización nefasta!

*2025-06-24, version 4.32*

Después de haber tenido la app hace algunos años y terminé por desinstalarla por el mismo problema, sigue igual. Si copias una frase en el Mac no te aparece automáticamente en LazyBoard de Mac, pero si se pega en el iPhone. A continuación tienes que abrir la app en Mac, hacer clic en sincronizar para que sincronice y ahora sí que aparece. Eso le resta totalmente su utilidad. La acción seguridad en ajustes está activada y todos los pasos de la instalación correctamente seguidos. El tema de las imágenes bien. Menos mal que solo he cogido suscripción por un mes seguiré probando antes de que acabe pero si la volveré a borrar.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2025-03-18, version 4.25*

L’application la plus utile de tous mes achats 

Je ne suis plus en mesure de l’utiliser comme je le souhaiterais sur mon ordinateur puisque les raccourcis ne sont plus suivis dans la saisie 
mais en tout cas dès que ça sera rétablis je serais à nouveau ultra efficace

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-03-03, version 4.25*

Great app
