WHY KEYRUSH • Two vibes, one app. Flip between Pro mode (clean, distraction-free) and Arcade mode (effects, sounds, confetti) — match the experience to your mood. • Made for iOS. Spring animations, haptics, symbol effects, Swift Charts — it feels native because it is. • On-device by design. No account to sign up for. Your stats, sessions, and custom texts stay on this device.
