Read full description

View My Screen is the free companion to Remote Screen Viewer — a two-app solution for real-time screen sharing between people who know each other, such as an adult child helping a parent, or a friend helping a friend. HOW IT WORKS: Tap "Share My Screen." A 6-digit code appears on your screen and is automatically read aloud. Read it to your helper over the phone. They enter that code in Remote Screen Viewer and can instantly see your screen. ONE BUTTON. THAT'S IT. No accounts, no setup, no tech skills required. If you can tap a button, you can use this app. YOUR HELPER CAN SEE — BUT NOT TOUCH: This app is view-only. Your helper sees your screen exactly as it appears but cannot tap, type, swipe, or control anything. You stay in control at all times. NO RECORDING: Sessions are never recorded or stored. The moment you stop sharing, your screen is private again. NO AUDIO IN THE APP: View My Screen does not use your microphone. Talk to your helper on a regular phone call at the same time. FREE FOREVER: View My Screen is completely free to download and use. No trial. No subscription. No payment ever required. YOUR HELPER NEEDS THE COMPANION APP: Remote Screen Viewer ($2.99) — available separately on the App Store. That is the app your helper uses to see your screen.

The keyboard that actually knows Icelandic — and types excellent English on the same layout. Lyklaborð is what a third-party keyboard should have been for Iceland: one Icelandic layout that fluently blends Icelandic and English as you type, autocorrect that understands Icelandic inflection, on-device learning you fully control, and a hard privacy guarantee you can verify in the source. Free base keyboard. Open source. No account required. No telemetry. No AI bloat. On-device learning of your own words is an optional subscription, Lyklaborð+. WRITE ACCENT-NAKED Dropping accents is an input method, not a typo. Type "flytjum i bud" at full speed and get "flytjum í búð" — the keyboard restores the accents for you, so you never have to reach for a long-press. THE FIRST KEYBOARD THAT UNDERSTANDS INFLECTION All 3 million word forms from BÍN (Beygingarlýsing íslensks nútímamáls) are valid vocabulary, and suggestions follow case and context — "frá" takes the dative, and the keyboard knows it. No other keyboard on any platform actually inflects Icelandic. ICELANDIC AND ENGLISH, ON ONE LAYOUT A two-lane language model follows you between languages. One-off English words — a "deploy", a brand name — never derail you, and the keyboard never hijacks your language mid-sentence. When you genuinely switch to English, it comes with you. No 2-language limit, no language toggle. CORRECTS LESS, NOT MORE A word that's valid in either language is never silently replaced, and the exact word you typed always sits in the suggestion bar, quoted, as an escape hatch. URLs, emails, and abbreviations are left alone. When the spacebar's neighbour is the more likely key, it's treated as a hypothesis, not a typo ("smelirna" → "smellir á"). YOUR VOCABULARY, TRULY YOURS (LYKLABORÐ+) The optional Lyklaborð+ subscription adds the personal layer: the keyboard learns the words you type, entirely on your device. You can inspect every learned word, delete them one by one — and deletions stick, so a removed word is never silently re-learned. Switching from SwiftKey? Import your vocabulary from a SwiftKey data export in one step. Nothing you type in password, URL, or email fields is ever recorded. If your subscription ever lapses, nothing is deleted — your learned words stay on your device, paused, and exporting your data is always free. ZERO NETWORKING CODE The keyboard extension contains no network code at all — no phoning home, no analytics, no data collection, no terms to accept. This isn't a promise; it's verifiable in the source. The whole app and keyboard are open source under the MIT license, so you can read exactly what it does. The App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected." Optional iCloud sync keeps your personal dictionary with you across your own devices — encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it leaves your device, with the key held only in your iCloud Keychain. Not our server. Not readable by us, or by Apple. BUILT FOR SWITCHERS Familiar muscle memory: a "." key with a long-press punctuation cluster, spacebar cursor control, and double-space period. Works fully without Full Access — typing, autocorrect, and prediction never need it; Full Access only turns on personal-dictionary sync and typing haptics (iOS blocks keyboard haptics without it). Icelandic language data is derived from BÍN, © Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies, used under the BÍN conditions. Made in Iceland.
