Stop typing the same thing twice. Save your go-to texts once, then paste any of them anywhere with one tap, straight from your keyboard. No app switching. No copy-paste juggling. Tap, sent. Quicki is a snippet keyboard: a text expander for people who answer the same messages all day. Sellers, streamers, support teams, freelancers, and anyone who keeps retyping their address, email signature or "on my way". PERFECT FOR • Replying to customer DMs on Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok and Telegram • Email templates and signatures • Filling forms with your address, phone and email • Stream chat commands, links and greetings • Answering reviews and support tickets • Birthday wishes, invites and the jokes you send every week • Promo blurbs and social links WHY QUICKI • One tap: open the Quicki keyboard, tap a snippet, it is pasted. No "copy" step. • Categories with colors: Shop DMs, Streaming, Support, Friends. Find the right text in a second. • Works in every app: iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram, Mail, Safari, Notes, anywhere a keyboard opens. • Long texts, emojis and symbols supported. Preview any snippet before you send it. • Fair price: monthly, quarterly or yearly. No weekly subscription. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your snippets in the Quicki app and sort them into categories. 2. Enable Quicki in Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards, and allow Full Access. 3. In any app, switch to the Quicki keyboard and tap a snippet. Done. WHY FULL ACCESS iOS only lets a keyboard read data shared by its own app when Full Access is on. Quicki uses it for one thing: reading the snippets you saved. Quicki does not log what you type, and your snippets are stored on your phone. FREE VS PRO Quicki is free to download. The free version includes 50 pastes and shows ads. After that, watch a short ad to get more pastes, or upgrade to Quicki Pro for unlimited pastes and no ads. ADS AND PRIVACY The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. If you allow tracking, ads may use your device's advertising identifier; if you decline, you still get ads, just not personalized ones. We use analytics and crash reports to improve the app. Quicki is a convenience tool, not a password manager: do not store passwords or card numbers in it. QUICKI PRO (auto-renewing subscription) • Pro Monthly: 4.99 USD per month • Pro Quarterly: 9.99 USD per 3 months • Pro Yearly: 19.99 USD per year Prices may vary by country. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
