TapCopy saves the text you keep typing again: replies, addresses, email signatures, links and hashtags. Add your own text once, then tap Copy on its card when you need it. COPY FROM YOUR LIST Each note has a copy button. Use the large-button layout or switch to a compact list to see more notes. Give notes a title and arrange them in the order that suits you. USE A WHOLE NOTE OR A BLOCK Copy all of a note, or choose a text block in its detail view. Blank lines separate automatic blocks; you can also define blocks from selected lines. Keep an address and a message together, then copy only the part you need. COPY, THEN PASTE TapCopy puts the selected text on the clipboard. Switch to your message, email or form and paste it there. You save the text you want to reuse; TapCopy does not automatically collect your clipboard history. A Home Screen widget is also available for saved notes. FREE AND PRO Save up to 20 notes for free with ads. Text blocks do not have a separate count limit. An optional one-time TapCopy Pro purchase removes ads and the note limit. Check the purchase screen for your local price. Start with a reply or an address you often send. Save it, copy it, and paste it when you need it.
