Clink is a custom keyboard for iPhone and iPad. Choose how it looks, arrange the keys, change the sounds and keep useful tools close to where you type. Start with a preset you like, or make a keyboard of your own. Choose a simple theme, metal keys, raised 3D keycaps or translucent Liquid Glass. Change colours, fonts, gradients, outlines and key shapes. Set separate themes for Light and Dark Mode. The live preview lets you type while you make changes. Add a photo background or put artwork on individual keys, with framing controls to get the placement right. Canvas mode lets you edit each key. Export your theme to share it, or import one someone else has made. Choose QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ, Dvorak or a layout for your language. Try Clink Flow for two thumbs. Add a number row, use a split keyboard or switch to one-handed mode. Adjust height, width and spacing, and add custom keys and rows for text or functions. Tap or swipe to type. Two-thumb word composition lets either hand continue the same word, combining taps and glides. Keep a simple swipe trail or choose one with colour, sparks or a comet tail. Autocomplete, autocorrect and swipe decoding work on your device, without an internet connection. Clink can learn your words and the corrections you reject; learning can be switched off or reset. Text replacements, smart punctuation and automatic capitals help with everyday typing. Use combined suggestions for multiple languages or keep them separate. Clink includes Japanese kana, Chinese Pinyin and Korean input, with language packs available to download. Features depend on the language and installed resources. Slide on the spacebar to move the cursor, or use trackpad mode for more control. Adjust sensitivity and activation timing to suit your hands. Predictive flick lets you accept suggestions directly from the keys. Clipboard history keeps saved clips in groups. The notepad holds text you want to use again, and the calculator handles quick sums and conversions. Find emoji with search, recent choices and skin tones. Arrange the panels around what you use. Use dictation when you would rather speak, handwriting to write with your finger, or translation to prepare text in another language. Supported translation works offline after its resources are downloaded. Dictation may use Apple's speech services. On compatible devices, writing tools use Apple's on-device models to proofread, rewrite, shorten, expand or summarise text. Change the tone or prepare a reply, then review it before use. Apple Intelligence support and downloaded models are required. Choose a system click or sound pack, set the volume and tune the haptics. Adjust how keys move and respond. Add lighting, stickers or a small pet that reacts as you type. Save setups as profiles and switch between them from the keyboard. Optional iCloud sync carries profiles and custom themes between devices. Text clipboard history and learned vocabulary sync are separate choices, both off by default. Build custom actions for repeated tasks or write a panel using the built-in Python subset. Add compatible theme, layout, font and sound packs to extend your setup. No Clink account, ads or cross-app tracking. Ordinary typing does not send your text to a server. Core typing works without Full Access; clipboard access, haptics, custom sounds and shared settings use that permission. Downloads, purchases, iCloud and some speech features need a connection. Requires iOS 17 or later. Liquid Glass, translation and Apple Intelligence features depend on your iOS version, device, language and available resources. Setup walks you through adding Clink in iOS Settings. Switch to it with the globe key wherever custom keyboards are supported.

How will your mobile device perform when push comes to crunch? How will it compare to the newest devices on the market? Find out today with Geekbench 7. Test the performance of your iPhone or iPad and compare your results with Geekbench – a leader in CPU and GPU benchmarking. TEST YOUR DEVICES Quickly test how fast your tablets and phones are with Geekbench's trusted CPU and GPU benchmark tests. COMPARE YOUR RESULTS Geekbench shows benchmark results in an easily-understood set of numbers. Your scores are automatically uploaded to Geekbench Browser where you can share & compare your scores against the newest devices on the market. NEW AND UPDATED REAL-WORLD TESTS Geekbench tests reflect how people use their devices. Instead of just crunching digits of pi for an hour or doing 80 different versions of the same task, Geekbench's tests measure tasks like how quickly a device can load an example website, render a PDF, add filters to photos, and process HDR. These tests are precisely crafted to ensure that results represent real-world use cases and workloads. In Geekbench 7, we've added several new tests, including: * Sharing your screen in video conferencing * Watching videos with auto-generated captions * Simulating game physics. CPU BENCHMARK Test your processor's single-core and multi-core power for everything from browsing the web to editing photos to streaming videos, or all of it at once. New media tests in Geekbench 7 measure performance in video conferencing, streaming, and content consumption, and a redesigned multi-core benchmark only runs tests multi-threaded when real applications do, so your scores reflect how software actually uses your device. GPU BENCHMARK Test your system's potential for gaming, image processing, or video editing with the GPU Benchmark. Test your GPU's power with support for the OpenCL, Metal, Vulkan, and CUDA APIs. New to Geekbench 7 is a focus on Machine Learning, with tests that measure real-time face tracking and image upscaling. CROSS-PLATFORM Compare apples and oranges. Or Apples and Samsungs. Designed from the ground-up for cross-platform comparisons, Geekbench allows you to compare system performance across devices, operating systems, and processor architectures. TRUSTED BY EXPERTS "Geekbench is one of the easiest and fastest ones to run and will show you how your device stacks up against the competition in a few key areas" - The Verge
