Corgi Keyboard is a privacy-first iOS keyboard that does not try to read your mind. It types, it does not predict, and it does not learn from you. Your saved clips and notes sit one tap above the keys (and only if you want it!) โ€” and every feature is free. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO - No typed-input collection. What you type is not gathered, stored, analyzed, or sent anywhere. - No prediction engine, no autocorrect, no rewriting, no AI features. The keyboard does exactly what you tap. - No swipe learning and no behavioral profiling. - No ads, no subscriptions, no account. - Full Access is optional. Typing works normally without it โ€” only the clipboard features need it, and the keyboard tells you so instead of failing silently. - Content marked as concealed by password managers is never captured. A COMPLETE KEYBOARD - 25 typing languages across Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic layouts, switched from the globe key's long-press menu - Key labels follow the language you are typing in - Emoji picker with Smileys, People, Nature, Food, Activities, Objects, and Symbols - A number row, with optional long-press symbols underneath โ€” including comma under the period key - Long-press any letter for accented variants - Automatic capitalization at sentence starts; double-tap Shift for caps lock - Hold the spacebar to move the cursor in any direction, line by line - Optional undo key that reverses the last text action Corgi Keyboard made - Automatic light and dark appearance CLIPS AND NOTES ABOVE THE KEYS - The Multi-Bar keeps clips, search, recents, save, note, and undo within reach โ€” keep it visible, or long-press Return to call it up only when you need it - Save what is on the clipboard as a clip without leaving the app you are typing in - Write a note straight from the keyboard - Search your clips by typing - Unlimited local clip history and up to ten local folders - Long-press Return for quick actions: view clips, paste the latest clip, or make a note - Shortcuts support: Create Corgi Note, Save Corgi Clip, and Save Clipboard as Corgi Clip WORKS WITH CORGICLIP, IF YOU WANT Corgi Keyboard is complete on its own. If you also use CorgiClip, turn on integration and your CorgiClip folders appear in Saved Clips and Notes. The keyboard reads only the snapshot CorgiClip exports to a shared folder on your device โ€” it never opens the live app database, and it behaves gracefully when CorgiClip is not installed. Turn it off and everything stays local to the keyboard. MAKE IT FIT YOUR HANDS - Two keyboard sizes โ€” standard, or larger tap targets on a taller keyboard - Four haptic feedback levels, including off - Show or hide the Multi-Bar, the undo key, and the number-row symbol hints - Combine the globe and emoji keys into one compact bottom-row key - VoiceOver labels on the keys and controls - Dark mode FREE, WITH OPTIONAL TREATS Every keyboard feature is free for everyone. No paid tier, no unlockables. If Corgi Keyboard earns its place on your keyboard list, there is an optional tip under Support โ†’ Donate a corgi treat. Tips unlock nothing, and they are separate from tips in the CorgiClip app. Questions or ideas? support@techsoakedloaf.com Requires iOS 17 or later. To use Corgi Keyboard, add it in Settings โ†’ General โ†’ Keyboard โ†’ Keyboards.

About

Clypy

Features
Read full description

Clypy remembers everything you copy and makes it available on every device you own privately. Copy a link on your Mac and paste it on your iPhone. Copy an address on your phone and paste it on your PC. Everything is encrypted on your device before it syncs, and Clypy holds no key that can read it. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข Searchable clipboard history โ€” every clip you save is kept on device, unlimited, with no clip cap and no account. History older than 90 days clears itself by default, and you choose the retention period. โ€ข Search by meaning โ€” find "that wifi password from the rental" without remembering the exact words. Semantic search runs on your device. โ€ข Text from screenshots โ€” Clypy reads text inside images you save, so screenshots become searchable and pasteable. Runs on-device. โ€ข Typed clips โ€” links, text, codes, images, files, and secrets are detected, colour-coded, and previewed, so you scan your history instead of reading it. โ€ข Detected secrets stay concealed โ€” passwords, keys, and tokens are hidden behind Face ID or Touch ID and can be set to expire early. โ€ข Collections โ€” group clips by project, client, or trip. โ€ข Templates and snippets โ€” reusable text with fill-in fields for the replies, addresses, and blocks you type constantly. โ€ข Paste stack โ€” queue several clips and paste them one after another in order. โ€ข Transforms โ€” clean up a clip before you paste it: change case, strip formatting, convert a colour, tidy a URL. ON IPHONE AND IPAD, SPECIFICALLY โ€ข Clypy keyboard โ€” pick a clip and insert it directly into any app, without leaving what you're doing. โ€ข Share extension โ€” send text, links, or images from any app into your history. โ€ข Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets โ€” your latest clips, one tap away. โ€ข Shortcuts and App Intents โ€” save, search, and paste clips from your own automations. โ€ข Built for iPad โ€” split screen, rotation, hardware keyboard, and Dynamic Type at the largest sizes. HOW SAVING WORKS ON A PHONE iOS does not allow apps to watch the clipboard in the background, and Clypy does not try to. Clips are saved while the app is in the foreground, through the Clypy keyboard, or from the share sheet. Nothing is read invisibly. PRIVACY, PLAINLY โ€ข No Clypy account, no profile, no password. โ€ข Clips, search indexes, and encryption keys stay on your devices. โ€ข Sync is end-to-end encrypted. Devices talk directly over your own network when they can reach each other; otherwise an encrypted relay forwards ciphertext between online devices and keeps no backlog. โ€ข All intelligence โ€” semantic search, text recognition, classification, secret detection โ€” runs on your hardware. Your clips are never used to train AI models. โ€ข Optional encrypted iCloud backups, restored only when you ask. โ€ข Usage analytics are off unless you turn them on, and never include clip content. FREE AND PRO Free gives you unlimited local history on one device, collections, templates, semantic search, and on-device text recognition โ€” no card, no account. Pro is a one-time license key that unlocks device pairing, encrypted sync over your local network and over the relay, the Clypy keyboard, and widgets. Enter your key on any device you own; there is no device limit. THE ONE THING TO KNOW Because Clypy cannot read your clips, Clypy cannot recover them for you. If every paired device and every recovery key is lost, that history is gone. Keep one healthy paired device or a backup with its recovery key. Clypy also runs on all major platforms.

Verdict
