The messages you retype every day — an address, a payment detail, an order update — live on your keyboard instead, one tap from wherever you are. WHAT IT DOES • Your snippets sit on a keyboard you can use in any app. No switching out, no copy-paste. • Fill-in templates: write a message once and leave blanks in it. The keyboard fills them in when you use it, then pastes the finished sentence. • Blanks the keyboard answers with buttons — a number pad for amounts, a wheel for dates and times, one button per option for a choice. Nothing to type. • A blank that needs words hands you the cursor instead, right where the words go, so you finish the message in the field you were already typing in. • Pin what you reach for most, sort snippets into lists, and search them in the app. • Save what you just copied without leaving the keyboard. FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE Five snippets, two lists and one fill-in template. The free plan does not expire, it has no ads, and it never locks what you already saved — your text stays readable, pasteable and exportable whether or not you ever pay. PRO Unlimited snippets, lists and templates, plus iCloud sync across your devices. Yearly with a free trial, or buy it once and keep it. PRIVACY Your snippets are stored on your device, and in your own iCloud if you turn sync on. Nothing goes anywhere else. The keyboard asks for Full Access only so it can read what you saved — there is no analytics, no account, and no way for it to send your text on. Export everything to CSV from Settings at any time. Export is never behind Pro: your own words are yours to take with you. Pastely Pro Yearly is an auto-renewable subscription. It renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Pastely Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew.
