Emails can be unique, but sometimes you just need to tell the boss you’re “Running 10 minutes late,” or ask a spouse what they need from the store.

Pastie makes sending common text blocks to contacts fast and easy.

Pastie gives you a space to type out common messages, then decide whether you want to assign those messages a specific contact and delivery method (email or SMS), or decide when you click the “Pastie.” For non-email and SMS purposes, Pastie also allows for quick clipboard copies of your text snippets to be pasted into any other app. The free/Lite version limits users to three text blocks, while the $1.99 full version does not do this.

Pastie Lite and Pastie are free and $1.99 downloads, respectively, and both require an iPhone running at least 3.0 firmware.
