## What is TextDeck?

The text you retype, one shortcut away. TextDeck keeps your snippets, replies and AI prompts as reusable templates with fill-in blanks — hit the shortcut, fill the blanks, and it pastes straight into the app you came from.

HOW IT WORKS
Create a snippet like: "Write a {{Tone}} email to {{Recipient}} about {{Topic}}" — then just fill in the blanks each time. One tap copies or pastes the finished text. Done.

ON-DEVICE AI
- Improve any prompt with one tap — Apple Intelligence rewrites, shortens, or sharpens it
- Paste raw text and let AI suggest reusable {{placeholders}} — you choose which to keep
- Runs entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to any server. No account, no API key
- Requires a device with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26 / macOS 26 or later)

INSTANT ACCESS
- Global hotkey opens TextDeck instantly from any app
- Frecency sorting puts your most-used templates at the top
- Search across all templates and categories in seconds

GLOBAL PROMPT LIBRARY
- Browse and install free community prompt packs
- Works offline and updates automatically
- Open source — anyone can contribute on GitHub
- Organize everything into your own categories and collections

ALWAYS FREE
- No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads — ever
- Free, and it stays free

SYNC & PRIVACY
- iCloud sync keeps your templates on all your Apple devices
- 100% local — no accounts, no tracking, no analytics
- AI runs on-device — no third-party AI services
- Your data never leaves your device unless you enable iCloud

Works on Mac, iPad and iPhone. Build your text library once, use it everywhere you type.
