Many keyboards are boring. Some track what you type. Plenty just don't work. Klava ain’t any of that. Klava keyboard brings together smart above-key predictions, stunning themes, sick features and rock-solid privacy. And a bunch of other cool stuff (that you can customise or turn on / off). What Klava has that others don’t: - Smart above-key and above-keyboard suggestions that you can flick up. Like the good ol’ BlackBerry days - Privacy. Klava learns as you type, but what you type doesn’t ever leave the device. As it should be. Keep what's yours, we don't want to know that! - Beautiful themes, each with unique features. We got sleek modern themes. We got nostalgic themes, true classics even. We got more themes cooking as you are reading this - App shortcuts – a true revolution! Assign apps to keys & then jump to the app of your choice by simply long-pressing the key - High personalisation. Customise font size, colours, buttons and so on. Make Klava what you want it to be - Gestures that feel awesome. Our favourite: swipe left across the keyboard to delete words. Or set a custom action to the 'swipe right' gesture! - Autocorrect is here, plus text navigation with Cursor Mode via WASD or a joystick in some themes. It’s super nice - Built-in emojis. What’s more, type things like :) or :phone to get an instant emoji suggestion. Truly :fire (can't put emojis here, imagine one!) - You can switch keyboard layouts by simply holding the spacebar, smooth as heck - We could go on, but that’s probably enough for the App Store page. Last thing: we are releasing major updates for Klava at least every month, so expect more themes, features, languages and just plain new & nice stuff regularly Klava currently supports 25+ languages with more in the making: - English (US/GB) - Spanish (Español) - French (Français) - German (Deutsch) - Dutch (Nederlands) - Italian (Italiano) - Portuguese (Português) - Russian (Русский) - Finnish (Suomi) - Hungarian (Magyar) - Polish (Polski) - Romanian (Română) - Swedish (Svenska) - Bulgarian (Български) - Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) - Czech (Čeština) - Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) - Arabic - Danish (Dansk)* - Croatian (Hrvatski)* - Norwegian (Norsk)* - Turkish (Türkçe)* - Greek (Ελληνικά)* - Serbian (Српски)* - Ukrainian (Українська)* - Hebrew* - Thai (ไทย)* *These languages don't support predictions above keys just yet, but you can type in your favourite themes in your language's layout! If you have ideas, feedback, want to say hi or give us a scolding (only if well-deserved!), drop a message to type@klava.space Terms of Use: https://www.klava.space/terms

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
