iCanText – A Bigger, Smarter Keyboard That Moves With You iCanText is a custom iOS keyboard built to make typing easier, clearer, and more comfortable. Featuring large, easy-to-tap keys, a gentle swaying animation, and smart visual cues, iCanText helps you type with more speed and fewer mistakes. Features: * Oversized Keys for Confident Typing. * Designed for accuracy and comfort. iCanText gives your fingers more space. * The top row gently moves left and right that allows for a maximum overall key size. * Next-Letter (instead of next word) predictions. * Likely next-letters glow based on what you're typing, making it faster to spot and tap what comes next. * Natural gesture-based texting: swipe right for a space, left for a backspace, up for numbers, down for symbols, and keep swiping up for phrases and dialects. Double swipe down toggles caps. * Single tap contractions. One tap makes a 'll, 's, 'r, 't, 'm or 've. * Tap the "Fix it" key (the wrench) to correct typos, caps, and formatting. * No pressure from autocorrect. * Just type. You can fix your typos later. * Custom keyboard styling (colors, etc.) in the main app. * No Ads, No Tracking, No Distractions. * iOS 26 users: have Apple's on-device LLM fix your typos. Whether you're a fast typer, someone with larger fingers, or just want a more relaxing keyboard experience, iCanText will help you text better.
