Copys saves the texts you type again and again and lets you paste them with one tap from its own keyboard, in any app. Your address, your bank details, your opening hours, a reply to customers or a greeting: save them once and never type them again. HOW IT WORKS • Type a text in Copys, or copy it in any app and Copys offers to save it. • While typing in any app, switch to the Copys keyboard with the globe key. • Tap a text and it's pasted where you're typing. FREE FOREVER • Its own keyboard to paste your texts without leaving the app you're in. • Ideas to get started: bank details, your email, replies to customers and more. • Favorites that always stay at the top. • Search to find any text instantly. • Edit, reorder and delete your texts whenever you want. • Delete and new line keys on the keyboard. • Keyboard in standard or compact size. COPYS PRO Optional, for people who use Copys every day: • Categories to organize your texts (work, sales, personal) and filter them in the app and on the keyboard. • Sync with your own iCloud account. • Export your texts to a file and import them whenever you want. • Nine colors for the app and the keyboard. TRULY PRIVATE No accounts, no ads and no tracking. Your texts stay on your iPhone and, if you turn on iCloud, only in your own Apple Account. We never see them. ABOUT COPYS PRO You can choose between two payment options: • A monthly subscription that renews automatically. New subscribers can try it free for 3 days.
