Project: ShortKeys - Multi-line Text Replacement Snippets App for iOS

ShortKeys is a productivity app for people who live in text. Build multi-line snippets, drop them behind memorable keyboard shortkeys, and fly through forms, support replies, or daily journaling.

Highlights

• Custom iOS keyboard brings text expansion to any app with haptics, keyboard sounds, double-space periods, and hold-to-repeat backspace.
• Optional hotkey button keeps your most-used punctuation a tap away - often used as a prefix.
• Free plan covers 10 shortkeys, the tip jar unlocks 5 more, and the annual subscription removes all limits for heavy users.
• Organise shortkeys with tags, pinned collections, and search, and sync everything through iCloud.
• Deep-link and URL scheme support means ShortKeys slots into Shortcuts automations; JSON backup/restore keeps libraries portable for those who want a personal export.
• Enable iCloud sync to keep up to date across iPhone and iPad.
• Appearance controls reflect Light, Dark, or System themes and custom tint colours to match your style.
• App Privacy Policy.

FAQ

How many shortcuts do I get for free?

10 shortcuts on the free plan. A one-time tip unlocks 5 more (15 total) without a subscription. The £7.99/year subscription removes the limit entirely.

Does ShortKeys sync across my iPhone and iPad?

Yes, via iCloud. Enable iCloud sync in the app and your shortcuts, tags, and keyboard preferences stay up to date across devices.

Can I back up or move my shortcuts?

Yes. Export your shortcuts as a JSON file for backup or to move them to another device manually.

Does ShortKeys work with Shortcuts (Apple’s automation app)?

Yes. ShortKeys supports deep links and URL schemes, so you can trigger or manage shortcuts from Apple’s Shortcuts app as part of an automation.
