## What is Kbrd?

Kbrd is a customizable keyboard for iPhone and iPad. Pick a keyboard style, choose colors, upload a background image, add key icons, show or hide key text, and adjust the keyboard lift so it sits where you want it.

The keyboard includes emoji and quick GIF-style reaction text, plus controls for removing or locking selected letters. Locked keys can optionally use the phone passcode or biometric authentication before typing.

Quick settings are available from the keyboard by swiping up, so users can jump back to the main settings screen and adjust lift or floating mode faster.

Key features:
- Custom keyboard themes and uploaded backgrounds
- Floating or docked keyboard layout
- Key text, text color, and key picture controls
- Emoji and GIF-style reaction shortcuts
- Remove or lock selected letters
- Optional phone authentication for locked keys
- Swipe-up quick settings
- Notification permission and App Store update shortcut

Privacy note:
Kbrd stores keyboard settings locally and in the app group shared with the keyboard extension. The keyboard does not collect typed text for analytics. Full access is used so the keyboard can read user-selected settings and uploaded background assets.
