keyboard2My story
I built the keyboard I was missing.
When I moved from Android to iPhone, the keyboard was the one thing I couldn't get used to, so I built my own. Now it's the keyboard I type on every day.
Types offline
The keyboard iOS never gave you.
Predictions, autocorrect and swipe typing in 36 languages, with more on the way. Everything runs on your iPhone, and nothing you type leaves it.
Nothing you type leaves the phone

Free to try
Demos play on their own. Tap one, or type on the phone with your mouse, finger or keyboard.
Autocorrect and predictions
It fixes what you meant.
The suggestion bar reads your sentence. The space bar fixes a typo only when it is sure, and one backspace takes the fix back.
- Two swapped letters are one slip. "teh" becomes "the", "recieve" becomes "receive".
- One backspace undoes a fix. The keyboard remembers the word you wanted.
- Names stay names. A capital in the middle of a sentence is left alone.
- Learns where you tap. The borders between keys move to where your fingers land.
- Swipe with a trail. Our own swipe model checks every word, on the phone.
A light demo that runs in your browser and shows some of what the app does.
Demos play on their own. Tap one, or type on the phone.
Languages and layouts
Every language, complete.
36 languages with predictions, autocorrect and swipe, and more on the way. 13 come built in, the rest download once when you add them. Write two at once: the keyboard follows the language of the sentence.
- A layout per language. QWERTY for English, your own for Estonian, ЙЦУКЕН for Russian. Slide along the space bar to switch.
- Accents and apostrophes put back. "nao" becomes "não", "hasti" becomes "hästi", "ειναι" becomes "είναι", "im" becomes "I'm".
- 30+ layouts, or build your own, number and symbol pages included.
- The app speaks them too. The app and the keyboard are in all 36 languages.

Tools
More than letters.
A wheel under your thumb, a toolbar one swipe away, a clipboard that keeps every copy, and a space bar that moves the cursor.
- 1Smart wheel. Swipe up from the space bar: languages on the inner ring, tools on the outer, Auto in the middle.
- 2Toolbar. The arrow beside the suggestions turns the row into copy, cut, paste, clipboard, emoji and dismiss.
- 3Clipboard history. Every copy while the keyboard is up, images too, by type, as a list or a grid.
- 4Space-bar trackpad. Hold and slide; flick to jump a sentence; hold an end and the cursor runs by itself.
- 5Swipe to delete. Slide left from delete to take whole words, or everything.
