The same reply. The same address. The same long prompt. Keep them ready in your keyboard instead of finding and copying them again. BlinkPaste saves your reusable text as keyboard buttons. In a text field that supports third-party keyboards, switch to BlinkPaste and tap a snippet to insert the full text. Review or edit it, then send when you are ready. SAVE ONCE. USE AGAIN. • Customer replies: FAQs, return instructions, product details, and follow-ups. • Everyday details: addresses, signatures, links, and the information you keep retyping. • Work templates: email replies, status updates, and meeting follow-ups. • AI prompts: save your own prompts and instructions, ready to paste into the AI tools you use. FIND THE RIGHT SNIPPET Use Summon to search by initials instead of scrolling through a long list. Create snippets yourself or save text you have copied to the clipboard.

A one-time Pro purchase unlocks unlimited snippets and iCloud sync for snippets and settings across your iPhone and iPad using the same Apple ID. No recurring subscription.
