How to use KeyPaste with Siri and Shortcuts

Updated August 19, 2026· Plain-text version

KeyPaste works with the Shortcuts app and Siri. You can run a few actions immediately, and build longer shortcuts when you need extra input.

App Shortcuts

These run with one tap, with no fields to fill in first:

  • Save the current clipboard
  • Create a new snippet
  • Open Inbox
  • Search the library
  • Open the library

Actions for larger shortcuts

In the Shortcuts editor you can also:

  • Save text or a single image
  • Find snippets by source, tag, or folder
  • Get a snippet’s full text
  • Save an Inbox item into the library

Snippet entities show title, summary, tags, type, source, and folder. The full body is returned only when you use the explicit “get full text” action.

Build a shortcut

  1. Open the Shortcuts app and tap + to create a new shortcut.
  2. Tap Add Action and search for KeyPaste.
  3. Pick an action, for example Save to Inbox, and connect its input. That can be text from the share sheet, the clipboard, or a previous step.
  4. Name the shortcut. You can now run it from the Shortcuts app, the Home Screen, or by asking Siri.

Run it with Siri

Once a shortcut is named, say “Hey Siri,” then the shortcut name. For quick capture, a shortcut that saves the clipboard to your Inbox pairs well with a Back Tap or Action Button trigger.
