CatKey is the only iOS keyboard dedicated to Catalan language support. When Apple removed Catalan spell checking in iOS 17.4, millions of Catalan speakers lost a basic tool. CatKey brings it back - and makes it better. BUILT FOR CATALAN SPEAKERS CatKey (teclat catala) was created because no existing keyboard treats Catalan as a first-class language. Gboard and SwiftKey support 75+ languages but none offer dedicated Catalan spell checking. CatKey is Catalan-first, not an afterthought.

Type Korean with one thumb β and learn Hangul while you do. Hold a consonant and pull the way the vowel is written. Pull γ± right and you get κ°. Pull it up and you get κ³ . There is no vowel side to cross to, so your thumb stays where it is. Tap for a final consonant, pull for the next syllable. Those two lines are the whole rule. Because your finger says which one you meant, the keyboard never guesses β and nothing you have already typed changes shape behind the cursor. β How it types γ is a vertical stroke with a mark to the right, so you pull right. γ is a horizontal stroke with a mark above, so you pull up. The shape of the letter is the direction of your thumb. Because a vowel arrives with the consonant that carries it, one gesture makes a whole syllable. β It stays where your thumb is Every vowel is reached from the consonant key itself, so your thumb doesn't travel β and no shift trip for tense consonants: press β§ and pull, or double-tap. One-handed mode moves the keys to either edge, and you can set the keyboard height β on a large phone that decides whether one hand is enough. β It doesn't guess No autocorrect. No word suggestions. No learning what you write. What you type is what you get, every time. β It doesn't take anything Nothing you type is stored. Nothing is sent anywhere. There is no networking code in this app at all β turn on airplane mode and everything still works. To fit the pull distance to your hand we count how far and which way your gestures go β never which letters, and never off your phone. β Learning Korean? The gesture itself teaches the structure: pulling γ± right is "consonant + γ " written with your hand, and a separate tap is what a final consonant is. Practice comes in four stages, from simple pulls to full sentences, with each word's meaning beside it β νμ₯μ€, μΌλ§μμ, μΉ΄λ λΌμ. β What you can change Β· Pull sensitivity, or let it measure your habits and set itself Β· How long a linked pull stays open (νν vs ν) Β· When haptics fire and how strong Β· Keyboard height and skin Β· Hand fit β we watch where you actually land and move the target under it From the app or from inside the keyboard, either way. β Pick a layout Four, switchable any time in Settings. Β· PullKey β pull a consonant and the vowel attaches. Β· Simple vowels β 2-set minus γ γ γ γ , so every key grows. Those four come from tapping a key twice, quickly. Β· Mui β simple vowels minus γ and γ ; twenty keys. Β· Standard 2-set β the same layout as the stock iPhone keyboard. Until PullKey feels natural, use the one you know. β Pick how it looks Fifteen colours and thirteen quiet pictures. Each one is drawn as a small keyboard, so what you pick is what you get. On a picture you also choose how solidly the keys sit on top of it. β Also Β· Latin letters, numbers, symbols, emoji Β· Pull space sideways to move the cursor, up to switch Hangul/Latin Β· Pull delete left to erase a word, up to erase to the end of the line Β· Save phrases with a title, enter in one tap; {μ€λ} {μκ°} fill in date and time Β· Abbreviations β only pairs you wrote, expanded on space Β· Optional row above the keys β Hanja, kaomoji, calculator, romanize, swap ν/A, date math Β· Five key sounds, three loudness levels Β· Number row; two spaces for a full stop β Free and Pro The keyboard is free: all four layouts, Latin and symbols, sensitivity, hand fit, one-hand mode, haptics, cursor pulls, word delete, typo guard and practice.
