BUILD YOUR COLLECTIONS • Organize reusable content into clear categories. • Choose from 18 colors to recognize content at a glance. • Search, pin, duplicate, reorder, edit, or delete saved items. • Save either text or an image in each item. USE IT FROM THE KEYBOARD • Tap saved text to insert it into the current text field. • Tap a saved image to copy it, then paste it in a supported app. • Save clipboard text directly into the selected collection. • Browse recent items, emoji, kaomoji, and multiple languages. • Adjust the keyboard's number of columns and visible rows. AI REPLY, ONLY WHEN YOU ASK • Copy a message and tap the magic wand to preview it locally. • Nothing is sent until you select a reply tone. • Generate one reply in your chosen style, review it, then decide whether to insert it. • AI Reply requires Briefoard Pro Lifetime. • A verified Briefoard Pro Lifetime purchase adds 30 AI replies once. • Optional packs add 30, 100, or 300 AI replies. Packs never expire and are not subscriptions.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN • Normal typing, browsing collections, and inserting saved content do not use the network. • Full Access is needed only for user-initiated clipboard saving, image copying, keyboard-side deletion, and AI Reply. • AI Reply sends only the previewed message after you select a tone. • Collections stay on the device by default. • Optional iCloud sync uses your private CloudKit database, which Briefoard cannot view. • No Briefoard account, advertising, or third-party analytics SDK is required. BACKUP ON YOUR TERMS Export a JSON backup containing your text and images, save it where you choose, and import it when needed.
