Swipeys Keyboard

Read full description

A keystroke is a tap or a flick. Swipeys puts every letter on a 3x3 grid of nine keys. Tap a key for its center letter. Flick, a short swipe in one of eight directions, for the rest. Nine keys reach every letter, with no row-hunting and no reaching across the screen. It's built for one thumb. Once your hand learns the nine positions, you stop looking at the keyboard and type. MAKE IT YOURS - Edit any key and any flick direction right inside the keyboard. Put letters, symbols, or emoji wherever you want them. - Adjust key size, flick threshold, and gutter width. Switch to a compact layout with fewer side controls. - Layouts are plain JSON. Tweak them, share them, and import a .swipey file. Import stays local and validated, and works with Full Access off. LANGUAGES - English, Finnish, and Spanish letter layouts, plus a numerals and symbols layer. - Switch languages from the keyboard. Touch and hold the 123 key to pick one. NUMBERS, SYMBOLS, EMOJI - A numbers page with digits on tap and a curated, editable symbol set on the flicks, shared across every language. - Emoji picker with recents and categories. Place emoji on any flick in the editor. GESTURES AND SHORTCUTS - Slide along the spacebar to move the cursor. Long-press for accents, double-tap space for a period, and let backspace auto-repeat. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No tracking, ever. The keyboard makes no network requests. - No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no ads, no server. Data Not Collected. - Core typing, the symbol layer, the emoji picker, and every customization work with Full Access off. Full Access is optional and only enables haptic feedback.
