Klayboard is a precision keyboard built for people who want total control over their typing. No predictive AI. No aggressive autocorrect. No cloud connection. What you press is exactly what appears on the screen — every single time. DETERMINISTIC TYPING Most keyboards fight you. They change words after you type them, insert suggestions you didn't ask for, and send your keystrokes to the cloud. Klay does none of that. Every tap produces exactly one character. You stay in control. DEDICATED NUMBER ROW Access numbers without switching layouts. Klay's 5-row and 6-row modes both include a permanent number row across the top. Every number key has a symbol alternate — swipe down on "1" for "!", on "2" for "@", and so on. WORD-BY-WORD CURSOR NAVIGATION The utility row gives you desktop-class text editing on your phone. Jump the cursor forward or backward by whole words. Delete the previous word or everything to the start of the line. Toggle case between lower, Title, and UPPER. Copy and paste without leaving the keyboard. THREE LAYOUTS, ONE KEYBOARD Standard: Clean QWERTY with a full symbol set available by swipe or long-press on every key. Coding: Braces, brackets, semicolons, slashes, and equals on the primary layer. Tab key included. Built for writing code on mobile. Markdown: One-tap buttons for headings, bold, italic, code blocks, links, lists, and horizontal rules. The cursor auto-positions between delimiters. SMART TOUCH ACCURACY Klayboard uses a geometric probability model to resolve ambiguous taps near key boundaries. It considers finger position, key proximity, and letter-pair frequency — all computed locally, with zero dictionary lookups. The result: fewer missed keys, especially at smaller keyboard sizes. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE Remap any character key's primary and long-press actions. Adjust keyboard height from 75% to 140%. Choose between 5-row compact and 6-row full modes. Toggle haptic feedback, sound feedback, and key popups independently. Set your preferred long-press duration. TEXT EXPANSION MACROS Create custom trigger-based text macros that expand as you type. Set "@@" to expand into your email address, or "addr" into your full mailing address. Macros fire instantly with zero lag — everything runs locally. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Klay never connects to the internet. Your keystrokes never leave your device. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no usage tracking, and no data collection of any kind. Full Access is requested only for clipboard features (copy/paste) and is entirely optional. ADDITIONAL FEATURES • Swipe down or long-press any key for its alternate character • Double-space automatically inserts a period and shifts for the next sentence • Hold delete to accelerate — first by character, then by whole word • Swipe up from the spacebar to dismiss the keyboard • Shift cycles through off → shifted → caps lock • Symbols layout with every special character you need • Dark mode and light mode with automatic switching Klay is for developers, writers, power users, and anyone tired of fighting their keyboard. It does exactly what you tell it to — nothing more, nothing less.
