About

TidyType Keyboard

Features
Read full description

Elevate your writing. TidyType is an AI keyboard for iPhone โ€” rewrite and translate any text, processed entirely on your device by Apple Intelligence. Nothing you type ever leaves your phone. Type anything in any app, then tap a chip above the keyboard. The result streams straight into the text field โ€” and a one-tap Undo brings your original back. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข One-tap AI rewriting โ€” fix grammar and spelling, or restyle the tone (clearer, friendlier, more professional) without changing what you mean โ€ข On-device translation โ€” turn your text into any of 23 languages, with a one-tap repeat for your last target โ€ข Instant and private โ€” it all runs on your iPhone through Apple Intelligence, with nothing to download MAKE IT YOURS Edit any built-in chip's prompt, create your own chips, duplicate and reorder them โ€” up to 30 on the keyboard. Share chips as small JSON files and import chips shared with you. TIDYTYPE PRO The keyboard, typing, autocorrect, word suggestions, emoji, and accents are free forever. On-device AI text rewriting, translation, and your own custom chips (with import/export) are part of TidyType Pro. Start with a 2-week free trial, then keep everything on-device. โ€ข 3-day free trial for new subscribers โ€ข Monthly and annual plans โ€” see prices for your region below on this page and in the app Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings โ†’ Apple ID โ†’ Subscriptions. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Terms of Use: https://tidytype.io/ios/terms โ€” Privacy Policy: https://tidytype.io/privacy-policy-ios A REAL KEYBOARD TidyType is a full keyboard, not just a toolbar: word suggestions and autocorrect in six languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian), accent long-press, emoji keyboard with search, haptics and key sounds โ€” all configurable in the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your iPhone through Apple Intelligence โ€” the language model is part of iOS, so there is nothing to download. The keyboard makes zero network requests and has no way to send what you type anywhere: the code that would do so does not exist in it. No analytics, no accounts, no tracking. (The companion app can optionally check for new shareable chips โ€” public catalog data only, never anything you type, and you can turn it off in Settings.) About "Allow Full Access": iOS requires this switch for a keyboard to share settings with its companion app. TidyType uses it only so the keyboard can read the chips you configure in the app โ€” never for networking. REQUIREMENTS โ€ข iPhone 15 Pro or newer (any iPhone 16 or 17) โ€ข iOS 26 or later โ€ข Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings The App Store only offers TidyType on devices that support Apple Intelligence.
