Early access on Google Play · Free · Android 8.0+
How it works.
- Write the macro once
A name, the message and one or more recipients. Each copy can include that person's name.
- Add the widget to your home screen
One widget per macro. Place as many as you like, next to your other apps.
- Tap to send
The text goes out straight away. The widget shows the last send, like "Last: 14:32 ✓", and stays in sync with scheduled and automatic sends.
Inside the app, every macro card also has a one-tap send button, and a long press gives you Send now, Duplicate, Enable and Delete.

Questions about the one-tap widget
Does the widget send without opening the app?
Yes. One tap on the widget sends the macro's text straight away. You don't need to open TextFox.
Can one widget text several people?
Yes. The widget sends the macro to every recipient on its list, and each copy can include that person's name.
How do I know the text was sent?
The widget's subtitle shows the last send, for example "Last: 14:32 ✓", and the log in the app shows delivery status.
Can I have several widgets?
Yes. Add one widget per macro and place as many as you like on your home screens.
