Theme Button Fill and Button Text for high contrast. Works everywhere: iPhone and iPad, any app with a text field. Private by design: Functions run on-device. No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no tracking. Config-first keyboard: Built-in toggles for Date, Time, Paste, UUID, Random Emoji, and a named Custom button. Inline drawing pad: Colors palette, stroke slider, Undo/Clear, and quick emoji row. One-tap theming: Live preview of canvas, keys, and text for accessibility and style.
