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.
