Many keyboards are boring. Some track what you type. Plenty just don't work. Klava ain’t any of that. Klava keyboard brings together smart above-key predictions, stunning themes, sick features and rock-solid privacy. And a bunch of other cool stuff (that you can customise or turn on / off). What Klava has that others don’t: - Smart above-key and above-keyboard suggestions that you can flick up. Like the good ol’ BlackBerry days - Privacy. Klava learns as you type, but what you type doesn’t ever leave the device. As it should be. Keep what's yours, we don't want to know that! - Beautiful themes, each with unique features. We got sleek modern themes. We got nostalgic themes, true classics even. We got more themes cooking as you are reading this - App shortcuts, a true revolution! Assign apps to keys & then jump to the app of your choice by simply long-pressing the key - High personalisation. Customise font size, colours, buttons and so on. Make Klava what you want it to be - Gestures that feel awesome. Our favourite: swipe left across the keyboard to delete words. Or set a custom action to the 'swipe left / right' gestures! - Autocorrect is here, plus text navigation with Cursor Mode via WASD or a joystick in some themes. It’s super nice - Built-in emojis. What’s more, type things like :) or :phone to get an instant emoji suggestion. Truly :fire (can't put emojis here, imagine one!) - You can switch keyboard layouts by simply holding the spacebar, smooth as heck - We could go on, but that’s probably enough for the App Store page. Last thing: we are releasing major updates for Klava at least every month, so expect more themes, features, languages and just plain new & nice stuff regularly Klava currently supports 25+ languages with more in the making: - English (US/GB) - Spanish (Español) - French (Français) - German (Deutsch) - Dutch (Nederlands) - Italian (Italiano) - Portuguese (Português) - Russian (Русский) - Finnish (Suomi) - Hungarian (Magyar) - Polish (Polski) - Romanian (Română) - Swedish (Svenska) - Bulgarian (Български) - Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) - Czech (Čeština) - Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) - Arabic - Danish (Dansk)* - Croatian (Hrvatski)* - Norwegian (Norsk)* - Turkish (Türkçe)* - Greek (Ελληνικά)* - Serbian (Српски)* - Ukrainian (Українська)* - Hebrew* - Thai (ไทย)* *These languages don't support predictions above keys just yet, but you can type in your favourite themes in your language's layout!

Quick Kibo turns the plain iOS keyboard into something that is actually yours: real mechanical key sounds, RGB backlight that reacts to your fingers, themes for every mood, and typing help that gets out of your way. THEMES THAT FOLLOW YOU EVERYWHERE Pick a skin and it comes with you into every app - messages, notes, search, all of it. Minimal light keyboards done properly. Deep darks. Soft cute pastels. Glowing neon. Gradients that shift across the keys. Loud, colorful pop. Turn on Shuffle and it is a different keyboard every time you open it. KEY CAPS YOU DESIGN YOURSELF Most keyboards let you change the background. Quick Kibo lets you change the keys. Pick a letterform - serif, mono, rounded, outlined, enclosed. Pick how the letters are inked - solid, outlined, shadowed, or a gradient running across the board. Then colour the caps themselves: the vowels, the home row, WASD, the function keys, or every key in a rainbow, in the color you choose. MECHANICAL AND MELODIC KEY SOUNDS Blue switches with the sharp click. Reds with the smooth press. Browns with the tactile bump. Deep thock. A real typewriter. A piano laid out across the keys, so typing left to right rises in pitch. Set the volume to taste, or turn it off entirely. RGB BACKLIGHT Light that answers your fingers: a glow under each press, a ripple that spreads, a trail that follows you across the keys, confetti, fire, rain, aurora. Or a calm breathing pulse. All drawn on the keyboard itself, all tunable. TYPING THAT ACTUALLY HELPS Word suggestions and corrections built on measured frequency, so the word you meant comes first and real typos get fixed. Next-word prediction that reads the sentence you are writing. Chinese pinyin with phrase and whole-sentence conversion, initial-only shorthand, and fuzzy spellings. Japanese kana to kanji. Korean Hangul assembly. Layouts for the languages people actually type in, and the globe key switches between the ones you turn on. EVERYTHING ELSE - Emoji, kaomoji and fancy text styles, latched so everything you type is transformed - Saved phrases you can paste in any app, and secure entries behind Face ID - Slide the space bar to move the cursor, press and hold for accents - A number row if you want one, and a punctuation set that matches your language - Insert the date, the time, or where you are, without leaving what you are writing - Your own photo as the keyboard background, with the keys tuned to let it through PRIVACY Quick Kibo has no servers, no accounts and no analytics. Nothing you type is collected, logged or transmitted - with Full Access on or off. Full Access is off by default and optional; it is used only for the clipboard buttons and the location key. Location is read only when you press that key and goes straight into your own text. Free to type in, forever. Pro is optional - subscribe weekly or yearly, or pay once and keep it forever.
