Snippet Keyboard

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 โ€” greetings, work replies, addresses, emails, anything you type over and over. Then switch right back to your normal keyboard. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT โ€ข No typing engine, no autocorrect, no bloat โ€” it's a snippet panel, not a keyboard replacement โ€ข Tiny and fast: inserts are instant โ€ข Organize snippets into categories with emoji labels โ€ข Filter bubbles narrow a category in one tap: A+B needs both, A,B needs either โ€ข Multi-line snippets, and long-press any bubble to preview the full text โ€ข Undo takes back the last insert; the Clear key wipes what you were typing, and Undo brings it back โ€ข Keyboard size: Compact, Standard or Tall โ€ข Starter packs: ready-made customer-support replies in English, Chinese, French, Spanish and Vietnamese โ€ข Import/export your library as a simple YAML text file โ€” the same file works on iOS and Android โ€ข Dark and light mode, iPhone and iPad โ€ข Available in 15 languages NEW: POP-UP BUBBLES Press and hold a pop-up bubble, slide to a snippet, let go โ€” it's inserted. Snippets inside a pop-up are hidden from the main keyboard, so even a big library sits behind a few fixed buttons that never move. Filters still work exactly as before. DYNAMIC SNIPPETS Create a snippet from any https:// URL you choose โ€” tapping it fetches and inserts live content (your public IP, a status line, anything your server returns). โ€ข Extraction rules pick out just the value you need from a JSON or HTML reply โ€ข Add text before and after the reply, so a live value lands inside a full sentence โ€ข Optionally send the text you're typing to your URL and replace it with the reply โ€” handy for rewriting or translating a sentence. It's off by default and set per snippet, under Advanced; Undo puts your text back PRIVACY FIRST โ€ข No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no accounts โ€ข Your snippets stay on your device โ€ข The network is used ONLY when you tap a dynamic https:// snippet you created yourself โ€ข No typing engine: the keyboard doesn't store what you type, and only sends it for a dynamic snippet you've set to do so โ€ข Full Access is optional โ€” it's needed only for dynamic snippets. Static snippets work fully without it PLANS โ€ข Free: 20 inserts a day, unlimited snippets โ€ข Pro: 100 inserts a day โ€” one-time purchase, no subscription โ€ข Unlimited: no daily limit โ€” auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly Bought Pro before these plans existed? You keep unlimited inserts. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The Unlimited 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.

About

UniClip

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 โ€” 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 โ€” full QWERTY, emoji, autocorrect and glide typing โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” through the share sheet, or the paste button in the app โ€” 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.
