Save the messages you send all the time, like booking confirmations, payment requests, and shipping updates, as templates just once. Then pull them up from the Quickly keyboard in any app, fill in the customer's name, the date, and the amount, and send. No more digging up an old message, copying it, fixing the name, and retyping the date. A few taps and you're done, with fewer slip-ups like sending a message with another customer's name still in it. ■ Right from your keyboard, in any app • In Messages, Mail, or any chat app, pick a template on the Quickly keyboard and fill in the values right there • No more switching between apps to copy and paste • The finished texts you've made are on the keyboard too, ready to use again • Type as usual, too. Keyboards for English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian are built in ■ To send, just tap in what changes • Quickly asks only for the parts of the message that change (name, date, amount), one at a time • Watch the finished message come together as you fill it in. When you're done, it goes straight into the text field • Fill it in the app and it's copied right away, or use the Share button to send it to another app ■ No calculator or calendar needed • Date: pick tomorrow, the day after, or this Saturday in one tap, without opening a calendar • Amount: just tap the digits, and the dollar sign and commas take care of themselves • Formula: set up something like "Hours × 50" and the amount fills itself in • List: tap to pick from the options you choose most • Same Value: enter it once and every spot that uses it is filled in • Fix a value that never changes, and Quickly stops asking for it ■ Perfect for you if you • Send booking confirmations, payment requests, quote replies, or shipping updates several times a day • Keep writing the same message where only the name, date, and amount change • Copy an old message and edit it before sending ■ Easy to keep organized • Use tags to separate work and personal, and search by title or content • Messages you fill in and send are kept in Finished Texts, so you can use them again • You can also export a backup file ■ The same on iPhone, iPad, and Mac • With the same iCloud account, your templates, tags, and Finished Texts stay in sync across your devices • On Mac, pick a template in the app, fill it in, copy it, and paste it anywhere (the keyboard works on iPhone and iPad) • Supports Light and Dark Mode ■ Only you can see your messages • Your messages are stored only on this device and in your iCloud. Not even the developer can see them • No sign-up, no login. Nothing you type is collected. No ads, either • The Quickly keyboard never connects to the internet. Everything works without turning on Allow Full Access, and turning it on only adds vibration when you tap keys ■ Not sure what to write first? • Describe the situation in one line, or paste a message you already send, and AI turns it into a template with blanks for the parts that change • Tap "Shorter" or "More polite" to fine-tune it • On devices with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26 or later), it's made on your device, for free. You can also ask the ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini app you already use and paste in the answer • Every feature works without AI. Only if you choose an AI other than Apple Intelligence yourself does your request go to that AI company
