Save reusable text once, then paste it from the BlinkPaste keyboard in chat, email, and other text fields that accept third-party keyboards. BlinkPaste turns reusable replies, templates, signatures, billing details, and AI prompts into keyboard buttons. Switch to the BlinkPaste keyboard in a non-secure text field that accepts third-party keyboards, tap a snippet, and paste the full text instantly. Why it is fast • One-tap paste: No more switching between Notes, chat apps, email, and AI tools just to copy the same message again. • Summon by initials: Have dozens of snippets? Use Summon to find the right one by initials, then paste it in seconds. • Save from clipboard: Copy any useful text and save it as a new snippet in BlinkPaste. • Pro iCloud sync: A one-time Pro purchase keeps saved snippets and settings in sync through Apple iCloud when available. • 30 free snippets: Start free with up to 30 snippets. The same one-time Pro purchase unlocks unlimited snippets. Great for • Customer support and sales: Paste FAQ answers, return details, product notes, and polite follow-ups. • AI prompt users: Keep long prompts, system instructions, and rewrite commands ready to paste. • Work communication: Store email templates, meeting follow-ups, status updates, and billing details. • Daily typing: Paste addresses, signatures, bios, links, and repeated replies without retyping. Privacy-first keyboard BlinkPaste only reads snippets you choose to save in the main app. It does not record what you type in other apps, and it does not upload your typed content. Full Access lets the keyboard extension read your saved snippet library from the shared app container.

About

Snippet KB

Features
Read full description

Snippet Keyboard does exactly one job: it puts your saved phrases one tap away, in every app. Switch to it with the globe key when you need it, tap a bubble, and your full snippet is inserted — greetings, work replies, addresses, emails, anything you type over and over. Then switch right back to your normal keyboard. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • No typing engine, no autocorrect, no bloat — it's a snippet plane, not a keyboard replacement • Tiny and fast: inserts are instant, and the extension is a fraction of the size of other snippet keyboards • Organize snippets into categories with emoji labels • Multi-line snippets supported • Long-press any bubble to preview the full text • Import/export your snippet library as a simple text file • Dark and light mode, iPhone and iPad • Available in 15 languages DYNAMIC SNIPPETS Create a snippet from any https:// URL you choose — tapping it fetches and inserts live content (your public IP, a status line, anything your server returns). PRIVACY FIRST • No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs • Your snippets never leave your device (stored locally, shared only between the app and its keyboard) • The network is used ONLY when you tap a dynamic https:// snippet you created yourself • Static snippets work fully without granting Full Access A dynamic snippet can also send the text you're typing to the URL you chose, and replace it with the reply — useful for rewriting a sentence. You turn that on per snippet, under Advanced. Snippets without it never leave your device. PLANS Free: 20 inserts a day, unlimited snippets. Pro ($4.99 one time): 100 inserts a day. Unlimited ($4.99/month or $29.99/year, auto-renewing): no daily limit. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
