Stop typing the same message twice. Fast Reply keeps your canned responses one tap away, in every app. Save a reply once, then send it in Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, Instagram, or anywhere else you type. Your whole library syncs over iCloud, so it is current on every device you own. TWO WAYS TO SEND A SAVED REPLY • Type a shortcut. Give a reply a trigger like omw or addr, type it, and it expands into the full message right where your cursor is - the text replacement Apple never finished building. • Or browse and tap. Forgot the shortcut? Pull your library up from the keyboard and tap the reply you want, without leaving the app you're in. WHAT'S INSIDE • iCloud sync. Your library on every device, always current. • Fill-in-the-blank variables. Add blanks like {name} or {date} to one reply and fill them in as you send, so a single template fits every conversation. • Folders inside folders. Organize by client, property, or project, and find anything with instant search. • AI Assist. Reword any reply warmer, shorter, or more polished in a tap, on device on supported iPhones. • Attachments. Keep a logo, price sheet, or link with a reply so the whole message goes out together. • Auto-fills. Greeting, date, time, and clipboard resolve themselves as you insert. • Randomized wording, so a reply you send fifty times a week doesn't read like a robot. • Share a folder with a private link. Whoever opens it gets the whole set, free. WHO IT'S FOR Realtors, photographers, online sellers, contractors, property managers, freelancers, customer support, sales teams, network marketers: anyone who answers the same questions all day. QUESTIONS Does it work in every app? Yes. Fast Reply is a keyboard, so your replies are available anywhere you can type. Do my replies sync between devices? Yes, over iCloud. Nothing to set up beyond signing into the same Apple Account. Is there a limit on the free version? The keyboard is free forever, and so is sending replies you already have, plus up to five you create yourself. Can I use it without a subscription? Yes. Lifetime access is a single $39.99 purchase, with no subscription. Do I have to turn on Full Access? No. The keyboard works without it - saving, browsing, shortcuts, and variables all run fine. Full Access is only needed for attachments and the clipboard auto-fill, and you can turn it on later if you want those. Is my typing private? Yes. Fast Reply never records, stores, or transmits what you type. Your replies stay in your own iCloud account. FREE AND PRO The keyboard is free, and so is sending the replies you already have, plus up to five you create yourself. Fast Reply Pro unlocks unlimited replies, autotext expansion, fill-in-the-blank variables, AI Assist, attachments, iCloud sync, and smart collections. Start with a 7-day free trial, then $19.99 a year or $2.99 a month. Prefer to pay once? Lifetime access is $39.99, with no subscription. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
