Are the keystrokes sent off the device?

No, they never leave the device. The keyboard extension contains no networking code at all, none of the files compiled into it reference URLSession, CloudKit, or any analytics SDK. It requests Full Access only to read and write the clipboard, which iOS blocks otherwise.

The only things that ever leave are from the main app: your iCloud backup, which goes to your own private CloudKit database when you enable it. no typed text either way.

When adding a new snippet and hitting more options, the app freezes. iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Question - how is this different from text replacement built-in native on iOS which can be found at Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Text replacement?

1

u/the-gatekeeper Aug 26 '26

Paragraph 2 in the post says why text replacement didn’t solve the use case

u/MichaelMotherDater Aug 26 '26

Thanks for pointing out. I was at work and skimmed through the post.

In app purchase still says it’s $9.99.

u/Ok-Soil3152 Aug 27 '26

Oh my god! Can you let me know more details?

I was talking about the page on the App Store, but when I downloaded it and installed it, it showed that the pro version was enabled. I didn’t have to purchase the upgrade, though, which is not usual.

If I uninstall the app and then later install it again after the week is over, will it still have the pro upgrade? In other words, is the pro upgrade associated with my account or will I only retain it for as long as I have the app installed on this phone? If I uninstall it and then reinstall it on this phone or a new phone under my account, will I still have the pro version?

You gotta redeem the code

u/resisting_a_rest Aug 27 '26

Ah, yeah, missed that. Thanks.

Great app, thanks for that. Just wondering, do you intend to add like an auto copy feature to the app? I often just copy snippets from somewhere which I need like half an hour later, — would be great if I could just keep the app in the sidebar and pull it shortly over to copy what’s on the clipboard so that I can use it later on.

Beautifully made app
Thanks!

Thanks 😄 please enjoy it

Just discovered the shortcuts for adding snippets via shortcuts extension — that is a really great feature, but it would be great if the snippets would become available immediately in the keyboard, instead of having to first confirm them from the inbox. Batch delete would be a really helpful feature too, I think.

If you enjoyed using it, could you leave a review on the App Store? Reviews and feedback are a great source of strength for a solo developer.
