What the iOS keyboard is missing.

Gestures on the keys that save you steps. Each can be turned off on its own.

Swipe for digits, symbols and capitals

Swipe up on a key for the capital letter, down for digits and symbols. No more switching between 123 and #+=.

A swipe down on a key: the preview shows the character.

Drag ⌫ to delete and bring back

Drag left to delete letter by letter, drag back to bring the deleted text back. Undo and redo with a swipe on ⌫.

⌫ dragged to the left, the end of the sentence deleted.

Number row and arrow keys, if you like

Digits without 123, arrow keys for the cursor, undo and redo.

Keyboard with editing bar and number row.

Suggestions and swipe typing, learned on your device only

Suggestions, autocorrect and swipe typing learn from your writing. What they learn is encrypted on your device; you can see and delete it in the settings.

A word swiped across the letters, with its trail.

Snippets by shortcut

Type a shortcut and the whole text is there, such as your address. The suggestion bar shows it first.

iPad: the shortcut addr shows an address in the suggestion bar.

And more

What you know from the iOS keyboard, and quite a bit more.

Your own gestures

Draw a shape across the keys and your text appears.

Cursor by letter

Hold a letter and drag, the cursor follows.

Four languages

English, German, French and Norwegian, switched with a swipe on the space bar.

Layouts

Colemak and Dvorak, German also without umlaut keys.

Emoji

Emoji keyboard with search and skin tones.

Look and sound

Themes, your own colors and key shapes, sound packs.

As on iOS

Cursor on the space bar, accents by holding a key, your text replacements from iOS.

Accessibility

VoiceOver, larger text and higher contrast.

Private, and you can check it.

No networking code

The app and the keyboard contain no code that can connect to the internet.

Without Full Access

Everything essential works without it. Without Full Access, iOS does not let a keyboard reach the internet anyway.

Encrypted on the device

What it learns and your snippets are encrypted and excluded from backups.

Syncing only if you want it

Through iCloud Keychain, end-to-end encrypted, only if you turn it on.

Check it yourself: iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › App Privacy Report.

Read the privacy policy

Try everything for 30 days, no subscription.

No payment details and no automatic renewal. Then buy once, with Family Sharing. Without buying, Kyrrkey keeps typing like the iOS keyboard: with suggestions, autocorrect, swipe typing and emoji.

Limits iOS sets for every keyboard.

In password and phone number fields and in some apps, iOS always uses its own keyboard. Selecting text and dictation are not possible for any third-party keyboard.

Haptics, custom sounds, copy and paste and syncing between devices need Full Access; nothing else does.
