Save once. Paste anytime. Briefoard is a fast text and image keyboard for reusable replies, addresses, social captions, work messages, and frequently used images. BUILD YOUR COLLECTIONS • Organize reusable content into clear categories. • Choose from 18 colors to recognize content at a glance. • Search, pin, duplicate, reorder, edit, or delete saved items. • Save either text or an image in each item. USE IT FROM THE KEYBOARD • Tap saved text to insert it into the current text field. • Tap a saved image to copy it, then paste it in a supported app. • Save clipboard text directly into the selected collection. • Browse recent items, emoji, kaomoji, and multiple languages. • Adjust the keyboard's number of columns and visible rows. AI REPLY, ONLY WHEN YOU ASK • Copy a message and tap the magic wand to preview it locally. • Nothing is sent until you select a reply tone. • Generate one reply in your chosen style, review it, then decide whether to insert it. • AI Reply requires Briefoard Pro Lifetime. • A verified Briefoard Pro Lifetime purchase adds 30 AI replies once. • Optional packs add 30, 100, or 300 AI replies. Packs never expire and are not subscriptions. BRIEFOARD PRO • Start a 3-day Pro trial from Purchase & Restore. • Unlock the core Briefoard features permanently with one non-consumable purchase. • Briefoard Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and does not renew automatically.

BACKUP ON YOUR TERMS Export a JSON backup containing your text and images, save it where you choose, and import it when needed. Briefoard is designed for customer replies, social media work, administration, and anyone who wants to stop retyping the same content.

The clearest difference is device support: FastClip at 4 against Briefoard's 2. FastClip also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
