Read full descriptionHide full description
QlipKeyboard brings a keyboard, a clipboard, and translation together in one app. Stop copying and pasting the same things over and over. What you copied recently sits right above the keyboard, ready to reuse with a single tap. • Copy once, paste anywhere Turn on clipboard history, and the text, links, and images you copy are saved on your device and available straight from the keyboard. Press and hold the 123 key to browse what you saved and paste it. • Translate without leaving the keyboard Tap the translate key and the sentence you just typed turns into the language you picked. Select text first and only that part is translated. No more jumping between apps to copy and paste. Translation runs on your device, so it works without an internet connection, and what you type never leaves it. Pick your language in the Translation tab and download the ones you need ahead of time. Text already written in that language is translated back into your device language. • Keep what you use often Pin email addresses, bios, and go-to replies as favorites. Favorites are never removed, even when the history limit kicks in. • Text, links, and images Everything you copy is sorted by type automatically, so it is easy to find what you need. Images can be pasted straight from the keyboard too. Copy the address of an image and the picture itself is saved instead of the link — you can turn that off in settings. • Two Korean layouts, plus English - Korean (Reduced Vowels) - Korean Qwerty — standard two-set layout - English Qwerty Tap the globe key to switch languages instantly. In fields that only take numbers, the keyboard switches to a number pad on its own. • Press and hold for more Hold the 123 key to open the clipboard keyboard. Hold the space bar to turn on trackpad mode and move the cursor. Symbols and clipboard features are always a long press away. • Built for iPhone Duo The keyboard lays itself out for both the folded and the unfolded display. • A split keyboard on wide screens On the iPhone Duo's unfolded display and on iPad, the keyboard splits left and right so you can type comfortably with both thumbs. Turn it on or off in settings. In split mode the number pad appears on both halves. • Make it your own Choose your own colors for key backgrounds, text, functional keys, the clipboard panel, and clipboard cards. Adjust the keyboard height and haptic feedback to match how you type — haptics come with five strength levels and a choice of vibration feel. The 123, language, and translate keys along the bottom can be reordered however you like. • Private by default All clipboard data stays on your device. Clipboard contents are never uploaded to a server, shared, or analyzed. Translation also happens on your device. Sentences you translate are never sent to a server, and it works with no network connection. QlipKeyboard does not use cloud sync and never sends clipboard data off your device. You can clear your clipboard history at any time. • About Full Access Full Access is required for the keyboard to provide clipboard history. It is used only to read clipboard items and save them on your device, and no clipboard data is ever sent off your device. Tip: In Settings → Apps → QlipKeyboard, set "Paste from Other Apps" to "Allow" and clipboard history will be saved more reliably.

Alien Keyboard translates as you type — in whatever app you are already in. Write your message, press Translate, and the text is replaced with its translation. That is the whole idea. TRANSLATION THAT NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE Translation runs on the device itself. What you type is never sent over the internet — not to us, not to anyone. Each language pair downloads once, and after that it works with no connection at all. 20 LANGUAGES English, Hindi, Bahasa Indonesia, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. A COMPLETE KEYBOARD • Word suggestions that learn the names and words you actually use • Emoji panel, with the ones you reach for most kept to hand • Clipboard history — the last ten things you copied, encrypted on your iPhone • Light and dark themes, or follow the system • Adjustable key size • Twenty key sound packs, all of them gentle, and haptics • Latin and Arabic-script layouts, with right-to-left laid out properly SPEAK INSTEAD OF TYPING Open the app, speak, and the translation comes back ready to copy. There is also a conversation screen: two people, one iPhone, each speaking their own language, with every reply read aloud. PRIVACY We have no server. Nothing you type reaches us, because there is nowhere for it to go. Your clipboard history is encrypted on your iPhone and never leaves it. Requires iOS 26 or later.
