The same reply. The same address. The same long prompt. Keep them ready in your keyboard instead of finding and copying them again. BlinkPaste saves your reusable text as keyboard buttons. In a text field that supports third-party keyboards, switch to BlinkPaste and tap a snippet to insert the full text. Review or edit it, then send when you are ready. SAVE ONCE. USE AGAIN. • Customer replies: FAQs, return instructions, product details, and follow-ups. • Everyday details: addresses, signatures, links, and the information you keep retyping. • Work templates: email replies, status updates, and meeting follow-ups. • AI prompts: save your own prompts and instructions, ready to paste into the AI tools you use. FIND THE RIGHT SNIPPET Use Summon to search by initials instead of scrolling through a long list. Create snippets yourself or save text you have copied to the clipboard. START WITH 30 FREE SNIPPETS Save up to 30 snippets for free. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks unlimited snippets and iCloud sync for snippets and settings across your iPhone and iPad using the same Apple ID. No recurring subscription. SET UP YOUR KEYBOARD Add BlinkPaste in iOS Settings, then enable Allow Full Access so the keyboard can read the snippet library shared by the main app. Switch to BlinkPaste when you want to insert saved text. Availability depends on the app and text field you are using. YOUR SAVED TEXT, UNDER YOUR CONTROL The keyboard reads snippets you choose to save in BlinkPaste. It does not record your everyday typing in other apps or upload what you type. Optional Pro sync uses Apple iCloud.

macOS forgets what you copied the moment you copy something else. Windows has had a clipboard history since 2018. UniClip is that, for the Mac — and it follows you to your iPhone and iPad. Copy on your Mac. Paste on your phone. Search everything you have copied, going back weeks. A KEYBOARD, NOT A PANEL UniClip's iPhone keyboard is a real keyboard — full QWERTY, emoji, autocorrect and glide typing — with your clipboard along the top. Leave it as your default and everything you have copied is one tap away, wherever you are typing. No switching keyboards, no opening an app. Start typing something you copied earlier and it appears beside the word suggestions. That is clipboard search, without a search box. PRIVATE IN A WAY YOU CAN CHECK Everything is encrypted on your device, with a key derived from a passphrase only you know, before it is uploaded. The server stores text it has no way to read. Search runs on your device, because there is nothing on the server worth indexing. IT REFUSES TO RECORD THINGS IT SHOULDN'T Anything an app marks as confidential is never stored — that one is not a setting, because the marker is another app asking not to be recorded. Password managers are excluded when you install it, and you can add your own. Anything shaped like an API key, a private key, a security code or a payment card stays on the device that copied it, masked in the list, and is never uploaded. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IPHONE CAN DO Your Mac captures everything you copy. iPhone and iPad save what you hand over — through the share sheet, or the paste button in the app — because iOS does not let any app read the clipboard on its own. Apple closed that in iOS 16, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Free. No account needed to use it on one device; sign in with UniAuth to sync.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UniClip at none against BlinkPaste's 1. UniClip also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
