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.

Motion Keyboard corrects words from where your fingers land. Type fast without aiming: the keyboard reads the pattern of all your taps and finds the word you meant. GESTURES • Swipe right: space and the corrected word • Swipe right again: period; swipe down or up to change the mark • Swipe down: next suggestion; up: previous, or exactly what you typed • Swipe left: delete the whole word; hold to keep deleting • Swipe up on a typed word: add it to the dictionary • Two fingers down: hide the space row and get more screen • Hold the space bar: move the cursor ENGLISH AND POLISH Suggestions take the previous word into account. Hold a letter for Polish accents. Swipe across the space bar to switch languages. LEARNS HOW YOU TYPE The keyboard remembers your words and how you hit the keys, and gets more accurate over time. LIQUID GLASS One glass pane with no gaps between keys: every point belongs to a key, so you never tap into nothing. The pressed letter pops up on a glass lens. The bar above the keys shows digits 1–0 or word suggestions; swipe sideways to switch. Emoji sit next to 123. PRIVACY The keyboard never connects to the internet and sends nothing. What it learns stays on your iPhone. It works without Full Access; Full Access adds haptics and a dictionary shared with the app.
