Your keyboard. Your data. On your device. This keyboard is built with one clear principle: your typing stays on your device — always. No internet connection. No servers. No analytics. No tracking. Everything the keyboard does happens locally, using on-device processing only. PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No data collection or telemetry • No network access — fully offline • No cloud sync of typing data • No third-party services or SDKs • No tracking, fingerprinting, or identifiers Text input is processed only to provide keyboard functionality such as suggestions and corrections. Nothing is ever transmitted off your device. Learned words and preferences are stored locally and can be deleted at any time. INTELLIGENT TYPING • Smart autocorrect — Powered by a custom spell-check engine with fuzzy matching. Catches typos, restores missing diacritics, and keeps the accents you intentionally type — all without relying on the cloud. • Multi-language support — Over 30 languages with automatic language detection. Switch seamlessly between languages mid-sentence — the keyboard follows along, and even weighs the words you've taught it when deciding the language. • Context-aware suggestions — Word predictions that adapt to what you're typing, including next-word suggestions based on word pairs. • Personal dictionary — The keyboard learns your words and names over time. Your vocabulary, stored only on your device. DESIGNED FOR SPEED • Swipe gestures — Swipe left to delete characters or whole words.
