## What is CW Keyboard?

CW Keyboard turns your iPhone's keyboard into a Morse code input pad. Instead of a standard QWERTY layout, you type using taps and holds — a quick tap for a dot, a longer hold for a dash — just like sending Morse code (CW) on a radio key.

FEATURES
- Custom system-wide keyboard — use it in Messages, Notes, Mail, and any app that accepts text input
- Built-in Morse Code reference chart covering the full alphabet, numbers, and common punctuation
- Simple setup guide to get the keyboard enabled in a few taps
- Shift, backspace, space, and return controls alongside the Morse input pad
- Full support for Light and Dark Mode

WHO IT'S FOR
CW Keyboard is great for amateur radio operators practicing their Morse code sending skills, Morse enthusiasts, and anyone curious about learning CW. Get comfortable with dot-dash timing in a low-pressure way, right from the keyboard you already use every day.

HOW IT WORKS
Tap quickly for a dot, hold a bit longer for a dash. Pause briefly between letters, and the keyboard automatically decodes your taps into text and types it for you.

## Key features

- Morse code input
- Morse code reference guide
- Practice Morse code sending
- Amateur radio CW mode training

### 2/5 — It doesn’t work

*2025-10-23*

It doesn’t do anything. I went into settings and added the keyboard AND gave it full access and there is nothing new about my keyboard and when I hold down the earth button it is not available as an option.

### 4/5 — Works as advertised

*2024-06-12*

Just wish it made the haptics and sounds but obviously the devs know that and say they’re working on it.

### 4/5 — Amazing! Wish it was on Apple Watch though

*2023-07-24*

This app is incredible! Works perfectly! Wish there were a few settings to change the speed, color, etc. Also, I would love for this to be on the apple watch so that way you can easily type! Rather than draw your letters! Please add support!

### 5/5 — This app is great

*2021-11-09*

Not only it’s a free app it works perfectly and also it has the Morse code alphabet built in which is great

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2017-09-01*

I have been learning Morse code and this app is awesome!!  I have been forcing myself to answer texts only using this app!  It's really helping me learn! Thank you. Was wondering if the iambic Key could be added. That would make it even better. Thank you. Also no sound is needed it works just great with out.
