How to use KeyPaste with Siri and Shortcuts
KeyPaste exposes App Shortcuts, so you can drive it from the Shortcuts app and Siri without opening the main app first.
What you can automate
KeyPaste provides actions to:
- Create a new snippet.
- Save text or a single image to your Inbox.
- Open your Library or Inbox.
- Search your Library.
- Find a snippet, and — with an explicit action — get a snippet’s full text.
Snippet entities expose their title, summary, tags, type, and source by default; the full body is only returned when you use the explicit “get full text” action, so your content isn’t handed out implicitly.
Build a Shortcut
- Open the Shortcuts app and tap + to create a new shortcut.
- Tap Add Action and search for KeyPaste.
- Pick an action — for example Save to Inbox — and wire up its input (text from the share sheet, the clipboard, or a previous step).
- 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, just say “Hey Siri, shortcut name”. For quick capture, a shortcut that saves the clipboard to your Inbox pairs well with a Back Tap or Action Button trigger.
