Some things you type over and over: your IBAN, the building door code, your address, a link you always send. SharePal keeps them one tap away — and drops them into any app, conversation or form. SAVE WHAT YOU REPEAT • Addresses, door codes, IBANs, links, phone numbers, the message you retype every week. • Sort them into your own categories, with the colour and icon you choose. • Find any item in seconds, however many you keep. SHARE IT ANYWHERE • The SharePal keyboard works in every app — messaging, email, web forms. Your text is on the keyboard, not buried in another app. • The built-in iMessage app puts your items right in the conversation. • Add anything to SharePal from any app with the Share Sheet. • Send it to someone next to you over AirDrop. • Run it from Shortcuts and Siri. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud. Nowhere else. • We never sell or share your data — we can't read it in the first place. • Built in France, under GDPR. SharePal is for the small stuff you look up too often. Save it once, share it in a tap.
