Keyda — The AI Keyboard That Thinks With You Write smarter, speak to type, and create images — without ever leaving the app you're in. Keyda is an AI-powered keyboard that works everywhere you type on iPhone and iPad. Whether you're on WhatsApp, replying to email, posting to social, taking notes or filling a form, Keyda brings AI, your voice and an image studio directly into your keyboard. Most AI tools make you leave your app: open a chatbot, copy, paste, generate, switch back. Keyda removes that. Fixing a sentence that used to take seven steps and nearly a minute takes three — and you stay exactly where you are. IMAGE STUDIO — NEW Describe a picture and Keyda draws it. A watercolour of a rainy street, a logo concept, a birthday card, a product mockup — ready in seconds, in whatever shape you need. • Start from your own photo and have Keyda build on it • Your description is expanded into a fuller prompt automatically, so the result matches what you meant • Every image is saved to your account and waiting on your other devices • Lite includes 25 images a month, Pro includes 50, the free trial includes 5 TALK TO TYPE — VOICE TYPING & VOICE ASSISTANT Tap the mic and speak. It's a full assistant, not just dictation: • Speak to type in any app • Change settings by voice — "switch to dark mode," "turn off haptics" • Pull up a saved note — "paste my meeting notes" • Create reminders and notes hands-free • Ask the AI out loud — "write a polite reply declining this invite" Smart self-correction turns "my age is 29, oh sorry, 30" into "30." Dictation is free — no subscription required. SMART ASSIST AI Rewrite for clarity, fix grammar and spelling, shift tone from casual to professional, draft emails and messages, summarise long content, and expand rough notes into finished text — for work, study or everyday chat. A PRODUCTIVITY WORKSPACE IN YOUR KEYBOARD • Notes — ideas, prompts and reminders inside the keyboard • Clipboard History — recent text, links and snippets, one tap away • Translate on Paste — convert content before you send it • Inline Math & Dates — calculate and convert without another app • Conversation Memory — context carries forward, so you never re-explain • Reply in Your Voice — suggestions that sound like you, not a template PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sensitive features are built to keep as much as possible on your device. Voice input is active only while you're recording, transcribed by Apple's Speech Recognition, and never stored by us. Stickers can be generated by a fully offline, on-device model (Lite/Pro, one-time download), or instantly in the cloud if you'd rather skip it. Photos never leave your device unless you attach one yourself. Sign out and every note, clipboard entry, API key and AI memory is wiped immediately. MADE YOURS Nine handcrafted themes — Classic, Midnight, Aurora, Coral, Forest, Ocean, Sunset, Rose and Carbon — sync across the app the moment you switch. However many smart features run in the background, typing stays fast and smooth. Student, professional, creator, freelancer or business owner: Keyda cuts repetitive work every day — better emails, faster replies, instant translation, images on demand, organised notes and clipboard history you can actually find. No app switching. No endless copy-pasting. No interruptions. Just a smarter keyboard that works, listens and draws — everywhere you type. Made in India. Built for everyone.

“Five tasks a day. Uncle Rudy will hold you accountable for finishing them” I'm Uncle Rudy, your daily tasks and accountability app. You pick five things to get done. I keep them in sight, remind you when it matters, and roast you when you start making excuses. "I'll do it later" has had a good run. We're done with that. PICK FIVE. NOT FIFTY. Choose five tasks for today. Everything else goes in your Inbox or Waitlist until it's time. You don't need a longer list. You need to finish something on it. NOW TRY IGNORING ME Close the app. I'm still on your Home Screen with widgets, notifications that keep your five tasks visible. Even extra-large ones. Apparently, you needed a bigger hint. Live Activities and Dynamic Island keep your current task in view. Control Center and the Action Button put me one action away. I meet you where you already are, so remembering to open your task app isn't another task. I'LL ROAST YOU INTO GETTING THINGS DONE Set reminders and I'll follow up with notifications, personal nudges, and roast widgets that call out the tasks you're avoiding. My on-device AI makes those reminders relevant to your list. Check things off, build your streak, and give me less to complain about. That's accountability. With an uncle attached. HANDS FULL? I EVEN BROUGHT SIRI Ask Siri AI to add a task, find one, change it, or mark it done. You can also delete tasks or ask for a summary, without opening the app. You don't even have to lift a finger to manage your list. Running low on excuses yet? TOO LAZY TO TYPE? TALK OR POINT. Yap your thoughts to me and I'll turn them into tasks using Core AI. To-dos on paper or a whiteboard? Point your camera. Snap uses the Foundation Vision Model to bring them into your list. However your to-dos show up, I'll help you capture them. Finishing them is still your job. YOUR TASKS. YOUR BUSINESS. A complete iOS 27 experience, built around helping you get things done. My task AI runs on your iPhone, with a model made for Rudy working alongside Apple Foundation Models. No account. No sign-up. No cloud. I'll judge your list. I'll also keep it private. RUDY PRO Uncle Rudy is free to use. Rudy Pro is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited AI features and the full widget collection. No subscription. No auto-renewal. Unlock once and keep Pro. Five tasks. What's your excuse now?
