Type fractions and everyday math without interrupting your flow. Fractions Keyboard gives you a clean, native-feeling keyboard for recipes, measurements, homework, lab notes, medical documentation, and any place ordinary keyboards make symbols difficult. Highlights: • Quickly enter common Unicode fractions and useful math symbols. • Pin up to six favorite fractions, symbols, or operators for one-tap access. • Move the cursor from the space bar and use familiar Shift, Return, delete, and key-popout behavior. • Enjoy layouts tuned for iPhone and iPad, including docked and floating iPad keyboards, rotation, and dark mode. • Adjust favorites and typing preferences in the simple companion app. Private by design: The keyboard works without Full Access. It does not record, store, or transmit what you type. Spend less time searching and copying—and more time writing.
