Typelace

Type your name once and see it in 45 styles at the same time: bold, script, Gothic, bubble, small caps, glitch, and more. Copy any of them with a single tap. Paste it into your bio, a gamer tag, a group chat, or a caption. No special font. Typelace swaps your letters for Unicode characters that phones and computers already know, so the style comes along into most apps, even ones that only take plain text. A few apps draw some characters differently. DECORATE IT Open any style to add a wrap, a divider, a title bar, or a frame. There are 69 to pick from: bows, moons, royal flourishes, and rainbow emoji hearts. Six presets combine a style and a decoration in one tap, including one that frames your name with a pair of hieroglyph ducks. EXTRAS Hearts, stars, arrows, Egyptian hieroglyph animals (cats, owls, frogs, scarabs), kaomoji faces, rainbow borders, and ASCII art. Tap to copy, or add one to the end of your text. TYPE ANYWHERE Add the Typelace keyboard once and style text as you type, in any app that allows custom keyboards. Fonts land letter by letter. Frames go in whole: pick a preset, or tap Decorate to put any of 45 wraps and titles around any style. Start one at the beginning of a field and your letters land inside it as you type. After text that's already there, the keyboard shows the framed phrase above the keys and you tap Insert; in the middle of a line, tap Compose here first. Flips and spacers build a draft above the keys, then go in when you tap Insert. One sparkle wrap always works this way too, even in an empty field. In ordinary text fields, tap the kaomoji key next to the space bar to add a face or one of 359 symbols without applying the selected style, either at the cursor or in a draft sent with Insert. The keyboard works without Full Access. In another app, you can also share selected text to "Style with Typelace." WORD SUGGESTIONS As you type, the keyboard suggests the word you're spelling. Tap one to finish it. In a draft, it offers spelling fixes before you tap Insert. Suggestions use Apple's spell checker on your device, and nothing you type is saved or sent. SAVED LOOKS Star a style together with its decoration to keep the pair. Your looks are in Favorites, the iPad sidebar, and the Share sheet, and looks with a one-line wrap or title are on the keyboard too. BEHIND THE KEYS Give the keyboard a background: one of 14 built-ins, from marble and ocean to roses and ravens, or a photo of your own, framed with a pinch. Blur and Dim set how much of it shows through the frosted keys. Pick one on the Styles screen (on iPad, in the sidebar) or in Settings. A FEW HONEST DETAILS • Styles marked Lookalike borrow letters from other alphabets. Screen readers may not read them correctly, and some apps reject them in usernames, so Typelace labels them. • If your device can't draw a symbol, Typelace hides it by default rather than showing you a box. • Typelace copies plain text, so pasted text has no font color. Color decorations get theirs from emoji. NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR No account, no ads, no subscription, and no data collected. Favorites and your last 50 copies stay on your device, and Typelace doesn't upload your photos. Your Settings switches sync between your devices through your own iCloud account. For iPhone and iPad. Light and dark mode.
