## What is Typewise Custom Keyboard?

FOUR times fewer typos and 100% privacy with the first keyboard made for your iPhone.

Featured on: TechCrunch, Wired, Houston Chronicle, Esquire, Evening Standard, Tech Radar, Mac Observer, App Advice

DID YOU KNOW?
Current keyboards are based on the 140-year-old mechanical typewriter layout. Typewise is different. It’s the first keyboard that is specifically designed for smartphones. It’s revolutionary yet easy to use, and after a couple of messages you’ll love it.

4X FEWER TYPOS
A recent study with 37,000 participants showed that on current keyboards 1 out of 5 words contains typos. With Typewise you finally get rid of these ARRGGHH-moments. Thanks to the hexagon layout, keys are 70% larger and much easier to hit. It helps you to make four times fewer typos.

AI POWERED KEYBOARD
All your editing needs are now met in one keyboard. It features the ability to translate, proofread, adjust tonality, shorten, extend and create inclusive language with just one click.

INTUITIVE GESTURES
Swipe up to capitalize a letter, swipe left to delete or swipe right to restore. It's as simple as that.

SMART AUTOCORRECT
Stop getting annoyed by wrong autocorrections or senseless predictions. Typewise learns what you type and helps you write that perfect sentence.

100% PRIVACY
What you write is personal. That's why the keyboard does NOT require “full access” and none of your typing data is transmitted to the cloud.
To improve tutorial, game and settings in the app, we rely on basic and anonymous usage tracking, which can be turned off completely using the offline mode feature. The keyboard itself is not tracked at all.

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-08-20, version 4.4.5*

Time to update

### 2/5 — Slow responsiveness and needs larger keys

*2026-08-16, version 4.4.5*

The typing is slow and the keys in the standard layout need to be larger

### 2/5 — Paywall garbage

*2026-07-24, version 4.4.5*

every decent feature that you might want to use to customize your typing experience is locked behind a paywall. So even though I have limited time with the app, I’m already giving up on it.

### 2/5 — Hits and misses

*2026-07-17, version 4.4.5*

I appreciate the larger keys. The key keyboard takes a little getting used to it, but it’s pretty intuitive. I like the swipe to delete. There are a lot of things to love.

A big problem, though, is it doesn’t remember any of my hashtags words and I can’t attach gifs

That becomes a real problem when my feed is full of #words and I have to keep typing them in over and over.

Kinda defeats the purpose.

Then I have to leave the app to go submit a GIF

I’m not giving up on it just yet, but those are two big barriers for me

### 1/5 — Awful. Annoying. Stupid.

*2026-07-10, version 4.4.5*

This keyboard is awful. The auto correct is incredibly bad, stupid, intrusive and annoying, it renders this app useless. 
What a waste of time!
SO INCREDIBLY BAD!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Long press city

*2026-07-01, version 4.4.5*

Paid for a month specifically to get the ? and . button customization, only to find that they weren't customizable at all, only the long press functionality was. Pointless. If I wanted long press to be the solution to everything I'd have stayed with the default iOS keyboard.

Vibration on keypress is the worst offender by far. I type so fast that sometimes it skips a vibration and completely throws me off.

Currently there's no option to have swiping the space bar move the cursor, again you're forced to long press.

### 5/5 — Not the best but the privacy is worth it

*2026-06-28, version 4.4.5*

The main issue i have with it is the letters on the keyboard are too close together. It makes it incredibly easy to make typos and its a bit frustrating. The text predictions are mediocre at best. BUT that being said, its the only keyboard app for iOS that is (hopefully) truly private and not spying on everything you type and collecting and selling your data. Plus points for being swiss based. Will definitely recommend it to people who are seeking privacy over convenience.

### 1/5 — Awful. Annoying. Stupid.

*2026-06-25, version 4.4.5*

This keyboard is awful. The auto correct is incredibly bad, stupid, intrusive and annoying, it renders this app useless. 
What a waste of time!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work, simple as that

*2026-06-24, version 4.4.5*

Regularly corrects actual words into an incorrect word. As in almost every single time you type a word. Possibly the dumbest "smart" keyboard I've ever used. Completely useless as typing a simple sentance takes six times as long. I used it to type this review and it took almost eight minutes.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-06-18, version 4.4.5*

I used Swiftkey for a long time and  now because they were bought by Microsoft I dropped them for Typewise. I thought it would do a similar job with more privacy, but absolutely not. Predictive word is bad, correction are weak, both type of keyboard are hard to use and unintuitive. Even the regular one is too tight and hard to use as it types the wrong letters all the time. There is potential, but at the moment I would not recommend it at all.
