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. PERFECT FOR Customer support, sales, small businesses, recruiters, real estate, delivery and anyone who answers the same questions every day. PRIVACY-FRIENDLY Your phrases work without Full Access. Photos, GIFs and the clipboard need Full Access, which iOS requires for those features. Your data stays on your device and in your iCloud — never shared. Free to start. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited keys and folders, photos & GIFs, and sync. Questions or ideas?

On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
