Stop retyping the same replies. Copied keeps reusable text and clipboard history inside a custom keyboard, so your replies are ready where you type. SAVE REUSABLE KEYS Create one-tap Keys for customer replies, prices, addresses, links, email templates, FAQs, and any text you send often. REUSE CLIPBOARD ITEMS Keep recent clipboard items within reach and paste them from the Copied keyboard. Auto Save can be turned on or off in Settings. Because iOS controls clipboard access, Copied saves items only when the app, keyboard, or Share extension can access them. STAY ORGANIZED Group Keys into folders and pages. Move several Keys at once and keep long lists easy to navigate. PERSONALIZE AS YOU PASTE Insert date, time, clipboard, and cursor-position variables into reusable templates. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Use a redesigned keyboard with improved layouts, paging, dark mode, and a setup flow that clearly guides you through Keyboard and Paste permissions. BACKUP AND RESTORE Back up Keys and folders to your own iCloud account, or export and import them manually. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your Key text, folder names, and clipboard content are not included in Copied's analytics events. Full Access is required by iOS so the app and keyboard can share saved content. FREE AND PRO Start free with up to 4 Keys. Copied Pro unlocks unlimited Keys and full productivity features. Copied offers weekly and annual subscriptions and lifetime purchase options. Prices vary by region and are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID settings. Terms: https://copiedpro.com/terms Privacy: https://copiedpro.com/privacy Support: hello@sharplylabs.com
