Textcuts vs Auto Paste Keyboard for iPhone
Short answer: Auto Paste Keyboard and AutoPaste Keyboard are two separate, unrelated apps that both let you paste a stored message with one tap from a custom keyboard, and both carry by far the largest review counts in this category. Neither documents filling in a name or other variable, or Hebrew gender forms, on its current App Store listing. Textcuts is built around exactly that: a reply template with a name filled in from the keyboard, and Hebrew phrasing you switch for the contact with one tap, with no Full Access permission required.

What Auto Paste Keyboard and AutoPaste Keyboard are
These are the two biggest apps by rating count that we found in the quick reply and paste keyboard category, with roughly 90,500 ratings for Auto Paste Keyboard, made by Pro App Company Limited, and roughly 122,000 ratings for AutoPaste Keyboard, made by Sociaaal LLC. Despite the similar names, they are unrelated products from different developers. Both are custom iOS keyboards in the Utilities category, and both center on pasting a full, already written message with a single tap rather than filling in a blank inside a template. Auto Paste Keyboard's own screenshots describe sending thousands of messages in seconds and pasting any message in one tap, plus a secondary auto clicker feature for websites. AutoPaste Keyboard describes itself as a keyboard to share and text fast.
One detail worth knowing before installing either: Apple's own App Privacy summary for Auto Paste Keyboard states that it collects identifiers used for tracking and third party advertising, which sits at odds with a purely local, on device storage story. AutoPaste Keyboard's listing makes no privacy claim in its App Privacy summary. Neither app documents a fill in the blank mechanism, gender aware phrasing, or a stated Full Access policy on its current listing.
What Textcuts is
Textcuts is a custom iPhone keyboard, so it works in every app that shows the iOS keyboard, not only inside one messaging app. You write a reply once with a name variable and anything else that changes, save it as a colored chip, and tap it whenever that question comes up again. A name or other value fills in with one tap in a panel that sits right above the keyboard, and a Hebrew textcut can carry both a feminine and a masculine form in the same template, and you choose the right one for the contact with one tap (Pro).
The Textcuts keyboard works fully without the iOS Full Access permission and has no network access of its own, so it has no way to see or transmit anything typed in other apps. Textcuts are stored on the device and, by default, synced through the user's own private iCloud account, a space the developers cannot read or export. The app is free to try on the App Store, and supports English and Hebrew today.
Who should pick which
- If you mostly send the exact same fixed message over and over and just want to paste it fast, Auto Paste Keyboard or AutoPaste Keyboard cover that basic use case, and both have a large existing user base to judge from.
- If a name, a date or another detail changes each time, and you want that detail filled in rather than retyped or edited by hand after pasting, Textcuts is built specifically for that.
- If you write to people in Hebrew and want the phrasing to read correctly whether the contact is a man or a woman, that is a Textcuts specific feature we could not find documented on either Auto Paste Keyboard's or AutoPaste Keyboard's listing.
- If privacy details matter to your choice, compare each app's current App Privacy summary on its own App Store page before installing, since that can change over time.
