Watch your keyboard light up. NanoKeycap turns the keyboard on your iPhone and iPad into a mechanical one: keycaps you can see, switch sounds you can hear, lighting that answers every keystroke — and nothing you type ever leaves your device.
Typing languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Chinese (Pinyin, simplified or traditional), Japanese (flick or romaji) and Korean (2-Set).
LOOK
• 18 themes in four families — solid, gradient, 3D keycaps and glass — including two high-contrast themes
• 7 lighting effects that react as you type, from a soft bloom to a full RGB wave
• 12 curated looks that set theme, lighting and background in one tap
• Share your look as a QR card: a friend scans it and gets the same keyboard
• Your own photo as the keyboard background (Pro)
• Light and dark mode, adjustable height and key corners, optional number row
FEEL
• 4 switch presets with their own sounds: Linear Red, Tactile Brown, Clicky Blue and Silent
• Haptic feedback on every key
TYPE
• Chinese Pinyin input on a full keyboard or 9-key; fuzzy pinyin and traditional characters are optional
• Japanese input with flick or romaji, and kana-to-kanji conversion
• Korean input on the standard 2-Set layout
• One language key switches between the languages you turn on; everything is converted and learned on your device
• Swipe typing: slide through the letters of a word and lift — the word is typed for you
• Autocorrect, word suggestions and next-word prediction
• Learns your words from what you type — on your device only
• Follows along when you switch between your typing languages
• Phrases: your own ready-made sentences, one tap to send
• Fancy text: pick one of 17 styles and type, or restyle a sentence you already typed
• Emoji with skin tones, kaomoji and 360+ symbols such as ⌘ → ≈ €: circled numbers, checkmarks, units, Greek letters
• Hold the space bar to move the cursor like a trackpad
• Custom dictionaries for names and jargon — from a link, a file or pasted text
• Portrait and landscape, iPhone and iPad; VoiceOver support; respects Reduce Motion
EASY MODE
• One switch for bigger keys, bigger letters and high contrast, with the extras tucked away
• Read aloud: hear the sentence you just typed (needs Full Access)
• Switch it off and every setting goes back to how it was
TYPING STATS
• Keystrokes this week, words and your streak, with a card to share
• Numbers only — never what you type, which app you're in, or when
PRIVACY FIRST
• The keyboard contains no networking code. What you type stays on your device.
• Chinese, Japanese and Korean input work fully offline: no cloud suggestions, nothing to upload.
• No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking.
• Full Access is optional. The keyboard works fully without it; it is only needed for clipboard history, haptics, the switch sound packs, Easy Mode's read aloud, and showing your typing stats in the app.
