## What is key_bored?

Bored with board? Meet key_bored - a minimal iPhone keyboard that lets you type by instinct.

The familiar QWERTY layout stays where you expect it. Choose how much you see:

• Invisible keys (Default Mode) - hide the letters and buttons for a clear surface.
• Blank keys - keep the button shapes, without the letters.
• Visible letters - bring back the full keyboard whenever you need it.

Tap the eye icon to switch modes, or hold it to choose one. Numbers and symbols remain visible when you need them.

Enjoy autocorrection, word suggestions, optional haptic feedback, and double-space for a full stop. Try the keyboard inside the app before enabling it in Settings.

Your typing stays on your device. key_bored does not collect, store, or send what you type. No account is needed.

Full Access is optional for typing. iOS requires it for haptic feedback in the system keyboard. Although this permission also allows network access, key_bored does not use it.

Less clutter. A familiar layout. Your choice of what to see.
