About

Snippet KB

Features

Snippet Keyboard does exactly one job: it puts your saved phrases one tap away, in every app. Switch to it with the globe key when you need it, tap a bubble, and your full snippet is inserted — greetings, work replies, addresses, emails, anything you type over and over. Then switch right back to your normal keyboard. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • No typing engine, no autocorrect, no bloat — it's a snippet plane, not a keyboard replacement • Tiny and fast: inserts are instant, and the extension is a fraction of the size of other snippet keyboards • Organize snippets into categories with emoji labels • Multi-line snippets supported • Long-press any bubble to preview the full text • Import/export your snippet library as a simple text file • Dark and light mode, iPhone and iPad • Available in 15 languages DYNAMIC SNIPPETS Create a snippet from any https:// URL you choose — tapping it fetches and inserts live content (your public IP, a status line, anything your server returns). PRIVACY FIRST • No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs • Your snippets never leave your device (stored locally, shared only between the app and its keyboard) • The network is used ONLY when you tap a dynamic https:// snippet you created yourself • Static snippets work fully without granting Full Access A dynamic snippet can also send the text you're typing to the URL you chose, and replace it with the reply — useful for rewriting a sentence. You turn that on per snippet, under Advanced. Snippets without it never leave your device. PLANS Free: 20 inserts a day, unlimited snippets. Pro ($4.99 one time): 100 inserts a day. Unlimited ($4.99/month or $29.99/year, auto-renewing): no daily limit. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
