AiReply
Texting back, in your words. Pick who sent it and the tone you want, tap once, and the reply lands in your message box, in any language, sounding like you on your best day.
View on the App StoreThe story
AiReply started at a kitchen table. Its developer texts the way a lot of people do: short and to the point. His wife did not appreciate the succinct replies. Meanwhile his daughter kept asking for help replying to friends: not with the words themselves, but with what she wanted to convey beyond the words.
So he built an app: paste the message, say who it is from, pick a tone from Sweet to Savage, tap once. He tested it a few times and drifted back to normal texting, until his wife admitted she liked the app's replies better than his, and started joking "can you have the app reply to me, please?" His daughter kept using the suggestions too. That settled it. AiReply shipped on the App Store on July 15, 2026.
Since launch it has grown out of its own text box. Version 1.5 added the three places people actually text from. The 1.6 series rebuilt the keyboard into something worth using on the days you do not need an AI reply at all, with glide typing and an on-device language model. Version 1.6.8, released September 10, 2026, put the reply itself back at the center: when their message asks a question, you give your answer and AiReply writes the words around it.
What makes it different
Your answer, their words. When their message asks something, tap Yes, No or Not sure and the reply is written around your answer, so it never promises what you did not mean. Add a detail in one line and it lands in the text. Every reply picks up one specific detail from their message and suggests a natural next step, with real apostrophes.
It works everywhere you text. Three surfaces, not one app you have to visit: the keyboard types the reply into any app; the iMessage drawer app drops it straight into your message box without leaving the conversation; and the share sheet takes any selected message and hands the reply back copied, before you are back in the chat.
Any language, instantly. AiReply reads the message you received and replies in that language: Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, 30+ in all, with zero setup. Multilingual families, immigrants texting across generations, and cross-border couples get a tool that finally speaks both of their languages.
It stays you. Replies are written by Grok from xAI and come back with natural contractions and real texting rhythm, no "As an AI" energy. Ten tones from Sweet to Savage cover the crush, the spouse, the ex, the boss, and the group chat.
A keyboard worth switching to. The reply is the value; the keyboard is how it reaches every app. It is a full iOS keyboard in its own right: glide typing, word suggestions and next-word predictions from a language model that runs on the phone, one-tap typo fixing, a hold-space trackpad cursor, undoable autocorrect, text shortcuts, a personal dictionary, smart quotes, emoji search, and a one-handed mode. It predicts the next key at the instant of the touch, so fast typing lands the letters you meant.
Humane by design. No account. No sign-up. No server-side message storage; history lives on-device. Ten free replies every week, renewed weekly. It is not a trial trick.
