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. ## Is Typelace safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Typelace. ## Is Typelace legit? Typelace has limited verification signals.

ⒼⒺⓉ ⒾⓉ! ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.4.0 — 2026-11-11 Symbols on the keyboard: in ordinary text fields, tap the kaomoji key next to the space bar, then the symbols key, to choose from 359 symbols in 21 sections. Typelace can now ask for an App Store rating after you've opened it on a few different days, not only after you've copied text in the app. It still asks at most once per version. Fixes: Delete behaves correctly next to pasted or decorated text, and filter chips stay reachable for accessibility tools after you pick one. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-11-10 A small update. Typelace can now ask for an App Store rating after you've opened it on a few different days, not only after you've copied text in the app. It still asks at most once per version. Everything else works the way it did in 1.3: word suggestions, saved looks, Settings that sync through iCloud, and keyboard backgrounds. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-11-09 Typelace 1.3 is a big one. Word suggestions As you type, the Typelace keyboard shows up to three suggestions for the word you're spelling. Tap one and it finishes the word for you. With Flipped or Mirror, it also offers spelling fixes in the draft before you tap Insert. Suggestions use Apple's spell checker right on your device, so nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere, and the keyboard still doesn't need Full Access. Saved looks Pair a style with a decoration and star it. Your look shows up in Favorites, in the iPad sidebar, and in the Share sheet, ready to use again. Looks with a one-line wrap or title are on the keyboard too. Settings that follow you Your Settings switches, like Haptics and Hide Lookalike Styles, now sync to your other iPhone and iPad through iCloud. Your text, History, favorites, and photos stay on the device you used. A smarter keyboard Capitalization now follows the app you're typing in. Keys show a preview when you press them, and holding a letter brings up its accents. There's also a practice field in Keyboard Setup, so you can try the keyboard before you use it in other apps. Fixes Keyboard backgrounds are more reliable when you switch between them or pick a new photo. The keyboard uses much less memory when it opens and closes many times. At the largest text sizes, the draft row, Insert, and Restore now fit without cutting off. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-29 Keyboard backgrounds. Put a picture behind the Typelace keyboard: one of 14 built-ins in three sets, Fluid, Nature, and Gothic, or a photo of your own that you pinch and drag to frame. Blur and Dim sliders set how much of it shows through, and the keys are frosted so the letters stay readable. Dark pictures keep the keyboard dark and light ones keep it light. On iPhone, a new row above Favorites on the Styles screen switches the background with one tap, and Edit opens the full set and the sliders. On iPad, it's Keyboard Background in the sidebar. It's in Settings too. The keyboard still works without Full Access, and Typelace doesn't upload your photos. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-28 The Typelace keyboard now styles text as you type. Fonts land letter by letter. Frames go in whole: pick a preset like Duck, or tap Decorate to put a wrap or title around any style. At the start of a field your letters land inside the frame as you type. After existing text the keyboard shows the framed phrase and you tap Insert; in the middle of a line, tap Compose here first. Flips, spacers, and one of the sparkle wraps show above the keys exactly what Insert will send. Also new: - Kaomoji on the keyboard: in ordinary text fields, tap the kaomoji key next to the space bar to choose a face. - A setup card on the Styles screen walks you through adding the keyboard. - Long previews fade at the edge instead of cutting off the last letter. ## More apps by GARY LEE NEITZKE - [Wiener Run](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wiener-run/id6827706485) All apps by GARY LEE NEITZKE: https://appshunter.io/developer/1873510250 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
