Read full description

A message lands. You stare at the field for five minutes, type something, delete it. LabKey is an iOS keyboard. Copy their message, switch to LabKey, tap Generate. Three ready-to-send replies appear. Pick one, it lands in the field, done. IT READS THE MESSAGE FIRST This is what separates LabKey from tools that only make your words prettier. They say "it's fine, whatever you want." Most people answer "what's wrong?" That question makes them withdraw further. LabKey tells you first: they're pulling back, this is not really your call. Then it offers: "Alright, your call. Did you eat yet?" Accept the line, move to something ordinary. That is the move here. ROMANCE MODE Off by default. Turn it on and most styles switch judgment: meet the feeling before offering a fix, do not close the topic, do not stack questions, do not defend yourself. Roast, Philosophy, Business and Translate are left alone. Their character genuinely conflicts with dating judgment, so we did not force it. The screen shows before and after examples. 24 STYLES, GROUPED BY SITUATION General: High EQ, Humour, Aloof, Sweet Talk, Wordsmith, Kaomoji, Emoji Romance: Flirt (hers), Flirt (his), Icebreaker, Warm Up, Gentle, Comfort, Confess Work: Chase, Decline, Report, Business Social: Unbothered, Memelord, Banter Write your own prompt if none of them fit. CONVERSATION PLAYBOOK The same message answered three ways, scored 2, 5 and 10, with the reason each one lands where it does. Not platitudes: rules you can act on. Take their side while the feeling is hot. Small talk continues, it does not conclude. One question per reply, at most. PASTE A SCREENSHOT Paste the image and the text is read out of it, with each line attributed to the right person. Text baked into avatars, timestamps and other furniture is filtered out. IT LEARNS HOW YOU WRITE Every reply you pick teaches it your phrasing. Samples stay on the device; the text itself is never uploaded. FOUR LANGUAGES, EACH LOCALISED PROPERLY English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Japanese and Traditional are not translations. The Japanese set is rewritten for Japanese norms; the Traditional set follows Taiwan usage and pacing. HOW IT WORKS 1. Copy their message, or just copy a screenshot of the chat 2. In any text field, switch to the LabKey keyboard and tap Paste 3. Pick a style, tap Generate, tap a reply to insert it MORE THAN REPLIES · Polish: rewrite what you already typed so it lands better · Natural English: turn a line into how a native speaker would say it · Custom styles: describe the tone you want in one sentence and it is yours KEYBOARD SKINS Full colour sets such as Cream Mail Cat, applied to the app and the keyboard at once. Switch in Settings, or go back to the stock iOS look anytime. PRIVACY FIRST · Keystrokes are never logged · Only what you copy and explicitly send by tapping Generate is processed · Screenshot recognition happens on-device, images never leave your phone · Custom styles and learning samples stay on your device by default · Sign in with Apple, no email or password, or use it with no account at all SIMPLE PRICING · 10 free generations every day, no account needed · Need more: one-time packs (100 or 500) or LabKey Pro Monthly (200 per day) · Invite a friend and you both get 50 free generations Download LabKey and never stare at an empty text box again. —————————— Monthly Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (1-month term). It renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
