Stop typing the same thing over and over. Save it once, then it is one tap. Keep the account numbers, addresses, introductions and email openers you reuse as snippets. In Messages, Mail, Safari, anywhere you can type, switch to ClipKeyboard, tap once, and the text lands in the field. What it does Snippets: what you saved goes in exactly as it is. One tap. Templates: leave the parts that change as blanks, then fill them from values you already saved. Stacks: keep several values in one place and send them in order, or switch between them with the arrow. Secure snippets: lock passport and card numbers behind Face ID and open them only when you need them. Smart clipboard: what you copy is sorted for you. It recognizes emails, phone numbers, addresses, card numbers and IBANs, so you find them again in a second. Text recognition: photograph a card or a document, swipe over the part you want, and only that text becomes a value. iCloud backup: it survives a new phone, image snippets included. Please know this first It is now a full keyboard too, with iPhone-style keys in 23 languages and your snippets on the same keyboard. Prefer the keyboard you already use? Keep it: after a snippet goes in, ClipKeyboard switches back to it, and you can turn that off. For Japanese and Chinese, conversion to kanji is not available yet. Privacy What you write stays on your device. If you turn on iCloud backup, it is stored encrypted in your own iCloud. We do not collect the contents of your snippets and we use no third-party analytics. Free and Pro Every feature is free until you have inserted snippets 100 times. After that, everything you made keeps working; the free limits apply only to new items. Pro removes every limit, as a one-time purchase or a yearly subscription. Works on iPhone and iPad. Available in English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Russian, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Polish, Czech, Greek, Turkish, Indonesian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Thai and Vietnamese.

Take Control of Your Screen Time Ever opened an app for 5 minutes... and then realized 30 minutes were gone? Ever tried to study, work, or sleep, but your just opened the same distracting app again? Or maybe there are private apps you do not want others to open easily. Lockit helps you pause before opening an app. It does not try to stop you from using your phone forever. It simply adds one small step before access. First, protect the apps you want to manage. Then, when you want to open one, Lockit can ask you to finish a small task first. It could be a math question. It could be a simple checklist you create yourself: Drink water. Review 5 words. Clean your desk. Finish today’s first task. After the task is done, you get temporary access. When time is up, the app is locked again. This helps you ask: Do I really want to open this right now? Can I do one better thing first? Lockit is useful when: You want to focus while studying. You want fewer phone breaks while working. You want to use your phone less before bed. You want to hide and protect private apps. Your child wants to play on the phone, and you want them to answer questions before unlocking apps. This way, learning and entertainment can stay in balance. Less impulse. More focus. One small pause before the next app. Privacy is simple too: Lockit does not read content from your managed apps. Your settings, tasks, and progress stay on your device. Passwords are stored securely using Apple’s Keychain. Biometric authentication is handled by iOS.
