Big fingers deserve room to type. Standard keys feel cramped under your thumbs? Ortholinear is built for bigger fingers, with wider keys, larger letters, and adjustable spacing. Give your hands more generous touch targets and a layout that fits the way you type. Ortholinear is a Ukrainian and English keyboard for iPhone and iPad, with optional layouts for Polish, German, French, Spanish, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Serbian (Latin and Cyrillic), Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, and Russian. Straight rows and equal-width letter cells make the most of the available space. Choose a preset or adjust the keyboard to suit your hands. MAKE THE SPACE YOURS • Start with Big letters, Balanced, or Original grid. • Adjust letter size, key height, control-row height, and spacing with a live preview. • Give Return and Delete more room, with Delete immediately after M / Ю. • Keep Ukrainian letters free of an apostrophe key. • Add a space after punctuation automatically, or turn it off. • Choose Shift placement and optional punctuation keys. • Extend touch targets into the gaps between keys. • Choose Warm Light, Soft Dark, High Contrast, Tokyo Night, Catppuccin Mocha, Nord, or Automatic themes, plus your own accent color. TYPE FASTER • Glide typing in English and Ukrainian: slide across the letters of a word and lift. • Sentences start with a capital on their own, and two Spaces end a sentence with a period. • Punctuation waits in the suggestion row between words, one tap away. • Flick a top-row key down for its digit, or turn on a number row. • Typed a Ukrainian word with the English layout on? One tap fixes it and switches language. UKRAINIAN + ENGLISH • Switch languages with one tap. • Type the full Ukrainian alphabet; hold г for ґ and Г for Ґ. • Optionally move ї to long-press і for a wider top row, with small hints to help you find held letters. • Access numbers, symbols, and punctuation alternatives. • Hold 123, slide to a symbol, and release to type it and return to letters. • Keep 123 / ABC at the far left, with clear feedback on keyboard controls. • Slide on Space to move the cursor. • Double-tap Shift for caps lock. Hold Delete to erase gradually faster. MORE LANGUAGES AND LAYOUTS • Add Polish, German, French, Spanish, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Serbian (Latin and Cyrillic), Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, and Russian; the language key cycles through the ones you turn on. • Hold letters for accented forms such as ą, ß, é, ř, and ё. • Type English in QWERTY, Colemak, Colemak-DH, Dvorak, or Workman. • Message, search, email, and web address fields each reopen in the language you last used in them.
