Caddy is your personal text library for mobile. Save the messages, numbers, and templates you reuse — organized, labeled, and instantly copyable. Build your text library Add the texts you reach for constantly — your name, email, phone number, address, common replies, IDs, instructions, and more. Tap the + button to add a new bit. Caddy keeps your whole library organized and always at hand. Templates that fill in the blanks Turn any bit into a template with fill-in variables. Write {name} for a free-text prompt, or {plan:Monthly;Annual} to offer quick-tap suggestion chips — Caddy asks for each variable once, then drops your answers right into place. Templates carry a distinct icon and border so they stand out from regular bits at a glance. Sorted by how you use it Your bits are ranked by how often you access them, so the bits you rely on most float to the top automatically. The more you use a bit, the bigger its pill grows — making it even faster to spot and tap. Pin anything to the very top for permanent instant access. Search in an instant A persistent search bar lets you filter your entire collection by text content or label in real time. Find any bit in seconds, no matter ho Label and color-code anything Long-press any bit to edit it: pick a color tag from a curated palette, add a short label to remind yourself what it's for, toggle pin, or delete it. Keep your bits organized by project, client, topic — whatever works for you. Works entirely offline Caddy stores everything locally on your device. No internet connection required. When you're back online, your bits sync automatically across all your iOS devices via iCloud — no extra account needed beyond your Apple ID. Clean, purposeful design Bits appear as compact pills in a flowing layout. Long text displays with middle ellipsis (start…end) so you always see both the beginning and the end of a bit at a glance. Up to 500 bits, each up to 5,000 characters.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Caddy at none against Doc Align's shown. Caddy also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
