## What is StarType?

Turn your own handwriting into a font. Write each letter once, then type anything and watch it appear in your hand. StarType also adds a fonts keyboard with 100+ styles to your iPhone and iPad, and helps you build a bio that fits.

On iPad it works with Apple Pencil too.

Your handwriting, as a font
1. Write each letter once with your finger or Apple Pencil, on simple guide lines.
2. Type any word and StarType sets it in your own hand. Redraw a letter or tune size, baseline, spacing and weight at any time.
3. Save it as a sticker and it appears in the StarType keyboard, ready to share in your chats. Or export a transparent PNG, an animated write-on GIF or a video.
Want something fancier? Try a calligraphy hand.

Fonts keyboard
Switch to StarType in any app and type straight in script, gothic, bubble, outline, typewriter, vaporwave, upside down and dozens more. Styles are made of Unicode characters, so friends see them without installing anything. Symbols, kaomoji and text frames sit one tap away.

Bio and caption studio
Stack styled lines into a bio, watch the character count against each profile's limit, and save favorite lines to the keyboard's Saved panel.

Keyboard themes
Color, gradient and photo themes, key sounds and haptics, with English, Türkçe, Español, Português, Français and Deutsch layouts.

Widgets
Font of the day and your bio on the Home Screen.

Privacy
The keyboard types, styles, and inserts symbols, kaomoji and frames without Full Access. Allowing Full Access adds key sounds, haptics, sticker copying and the saved texts you keep in the app. StarType never records or sends what you type, and nothing you write leaves your device.
