About

ByHuman

Features
Read full description

ByHuman is a tiny utility that stamps a short "written by a human, not AI" badge onto anything you type. Emails, posts, comments, essays, that reply you spent twenty minutes on. Your words. Your signature. Two ways to insert your badge: 1. CUSTOM KEYBOARD Enable the ByHuman keyboard once in Settings, tap the globe icon in any text field to switch to it, then tap the big orange button. The badge lands exactly where your cursor is. 2. IOS TEXT REPLACEMENT Type a short trigger β€” like ;nai β€” and iOS auto-expands it to your badge. Works with any keyboard, in any app, no switching needed. ByHuman shows you the exact path to register the shortcut in Settings. CUSTOMIZE YOUR BADGE Pick from five built-in templates or type your own text. Changes save automatically and sync between the main app and the keyboard. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT ByHuman does not read what you type. It does not track you. It does not connect to any server. Your badge is stored locally on your device. There is no account, no login, no analytics. The keyboard asks for Full Access only to enable the Copy button inside the keyboard. The Insert button works without Full Access. You can use the Text Replacement option without enabling the keyboard at all. FEATURES β€’ Custom keyboard extension with an Insert button, Copy button, Space, Return, and globe keys β€’ iOS Text Replacement integration with one-tap shortcut setup β€’ Five built-in badge templates β€’ Fully editable custom badges β€’ Dark, tech-forward interface β€’ Walkthrough on first launch, re-accessible any time from Settings β€’ No tracking, no analytics, no accounts β€’ iOS 16 and later, iPhone and iPad
