What's New in Finale Keyboard

3.0.1

October 7, 2026

- Super-duper cool system for building custom extensions - So many improvements that I don't care to type them out here Refer below for an overview of our exciting new old features from previous updates: - One-handed mode, for all my handicapped users. Freaks. - You can now move the keyboard up and down. Only if you are insane, of course. ** Going older ** - Clipboard history, so I could steal all the passwords you copy-paste. - UI improvements, because looking good is more important than typing good. ** Going even older ** - Long-press shortcuts, the second coming of Jesus type of an idea. - Full rewrite under the hood that you will never get to see, so f*** me I guess. - Fixed previously intentionally added bugs, because apparently I was wrong and someone does use this keyboard. ** Going even even older ** - Added spacebar for the ultra-rich. - Did anyone know that force unwrapping optional values might crash the app? Well, that no longer happens! ** Going even even even older ** - Did you know that rendering images is less memory intensive than text emojis? I sure didn't. At least now emojis consume less RAM, making the keyboard more efficient. - Allegedly violated some Apple's patents. - Added minor bugs, but who cares, no-one uses this keyboard anyway. ** Going even even even even older ** - Shortcuts, an idea descended from god. - Emoji skin tones, for all your inclusivity needs. - ~S.m.o.o.t.h.e.r~ animations. - Landscape mode, in case if you are one of those weirdos. - Fed the keyboard my pain so it less hungry, which drastically reduced memory consumption.

The Spacebar

Spacebar. Don't buy it - use gestures.

Review

Hello is there anyway to add swipe typing to this keyboard If that was added this keyboard would be a must have!

Had to put my fleksy to rest. Thanks Finale.

The developer is doing god's work.

Much needed alternative to fleksy, and safe refuge for all people who never found a replacement for the OG.

Perfect swipe features and uniquely long press shortcuts, And some fresh take on different other gestures.

Now he hates the space bar. We all know it. I'm sure some of you didn't use it after downloading just because of that.

As much as he hates the spacebar, he's a pookie to let you have it, if you're willing to try. It's a damn freaking Easter egg. Alas our dev loves the space bar after all.

Anyway, the app actively in development, new features every few weeks or months. A small fun subreddit for dev's announcements and your feature requests which the dev will either graciously grant or convince you as to why you're shouldn't be asking for it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I seriously think our dev is a cat. ๐Ÿ˜ผ

Fleksy Users: Welcome Back!

As a long time user of Fleksy, I was gutted to see it removed from the app store. Finale brought that same experience back, and improved on it in a modern, yet thoughtful manner. You won't miss the space bar as bad as you might think.

The keyboard I've been searching for!

Iโ€™ve been hunting for a replacement for the stock iPhone keyboard for a long time. Finale is the first one that actually stuck.
It takes up less screen than any other keyboard Iโ€™ve tried. You type letters normally; almost everything else is a swipe: right to accept a word and add a space, right again for punctuation, left to delete a whole word, up/down to cycle suggestions. Emojis and symbols are swipes too. The first day feels weird. By day three it feels faster than tapping a space bar.
It learns slang and names quickly, favorite emojis stay where you put them. If you used Fleksy and missed it, this is that idea done rightโ€”minimal, gesture-first, no bloat.
Give the gestures a week. After that you wonโ€™t want to go back.
Only thing missing for me is predictive text to guess next word instead of correcting a whole word afterwards.

Response from developer

Yes! Yes yes, that's the spirit! I'm glad that you stuck through the first few days of getting used to the keyboard - it really opens up once you get used to all gestures. Thank you!

Great keyboard

Works well! Autocorrect is very accurate, and dynamic touch zones seem to make a clear difference. Gestures are fast and easy once learned.

Response from developer

Yay, thank you!
