Type less. Say more. LazyBoard turns the messages you send every day into one-tap keys, right inside your keyboard, in any app. Save replies once, then send them in a single tap: "On my way!", "Thanks for your order", your address, your email signature, support answers, and more. WHY PEOPLE USE LAZYBOARD • Reply 10x faster: insert full sentences, paragraphs and emails with one tap. • Templates that fill in the details: write "Hi {Name}, thanks for your order" once, then type the name and send. • A place for every phrase: organize replies into color-coded folders. • Paste photos & GIFs: save images and GIFs and send them from the keyboard or iMessage. • Clipboard folder: keep copied text and reuse it anytime. • Fast search: find any saved phrase in seconds. • Synced with iCloud: your phrases stay up to date on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
