TypeKey writes

I'm so sorry I forgot your birthday. You matter a lot to me, and I'd love to make it up to you this weekend.

How it works

Say what happened, in one line.

Say sorry without a 'but'.

Offer a next step, like a call or a plan.

A good apology text is short: name what went wrong, say sorry, and offer something concrete. Skip excuses, and send it soon.

TypeKey's Apologize action turns a rough draft into a sincere message. Change Tone, Empathetic makes it softer. Always make it yours before you send.

TypeKey sends the text in the field you're typing in to our server only when you tap an action, encrypted, to create your result. AI actions need Full Access for the keyboard. iOS asks for it once, when you turn the keyboard on.
