Read full description

ReachType supports iPhone and iPad, including iPhone Duo. On iPhone and folded iPhone Duo, use a mobile keyboard with four bottom-row arrangements and a one-handed mode. On iPad and wider Duo windows, choose a basic or split keyboard when there is enough room. Four phone arrangements Choose where the globe and number keys sit, put the globe below the keys, or add a punctuation key beside the space bar. The punctuation key types a period on tap and ? , ! or ` with a directional swipe. One-handed typing Hold the hide-keyboard key to switch between full-width and one-handed modes. Pro lets you adjust the left padding and bottom padding in the iPhone tab. Split the keys to fit your hands On wider screens, put the keys into left and right thumb clusters. Drag each row's split point separately. With Pro, adjust key height, letter-key width, side padding and bottom padding. Portrait and landscape settings are kept separately. Extra keys for wider layouts Pro adds cursor, coding and terminal presets, or a row you build yourself, with Esc, Ctrl, arrows, brackets and shell actions. Mobile layouts keep their own compact rows. A little company while you type Pro adds animated decorations, including cats, paper airplane, kite, retriever and cherry blossoms. Availability depends on free space below the keys. Privacy without Full Access No Full Access or account is required. The keyboard does not send network requests or store or transmit what you type. No analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs. Free features English and Korean input, basic and split layouts where supported, per-row split positions, key repeat and switching between full-width and one-handed phone modes. ReachType Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It unlocks phone bottom-row arrangements and padding, wider-layout size and padding controls, extra key rows and decorations. Purchase or restore Pro in the app using the same Apple Account. Available features follow the device, window width, orientation and free space. On a folded Duo or ordinary iPhone, the iPhone tab controls the mobile keyboard. Basic, Split and Extra Keys controls are for wider layouts.
