Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Home screen and the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes. From anywhere in your device, you'll have access to your own information and actions. Each RSS widget allows you to view any RSS feed in a pleasant and highly customizable way. The refresh frequency can be chosen (from every 5 minutes to every day). You can choose to display the content as a beautiful image with an overlayed text, or as an article with an icon, and the associated text. Articles without an image can be filtered. You can define the number of articles to display in a single widget (from 1 to 6). If necessary, you can also choose the first article to be displayed. Decide to hide or show the image, title, abstract, content and author. Different visual parameters can be changed (such as font name, font size and the different colors). Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets. The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. In Today view: You can add as many widgets as you want and they will be displayed in up to 3 different lists. Those same lists will be available in the Today view and in the application (although it is possible, if you want, to hide some widgets in the Today view). To avoid overloading the Today view, when too many widgets are displayed, an intuitive control will allow you to navigate from one widget to another. Even if the main purpose of the app is to view the widgets in the Today view, it can also be very handy to view them directly in the application (a long press on a widget in the Today view will open it directly in the main application).
Klayboard

Klayboard is a precision keyboard built for people who want total control over their typing. No predictive AI. No aggressive autocorrect. No cloud connection. What you press is exactly what appears on the screen — every single time. DETERMINISTIC TYPING Most keyboards fight you. They change words after you type them, insert suggestions you didn't ask for, and send your keystrokes to the cloud. Klay does none of that. Every tap produces exactly one character. You stay in control. DEDICATED NUMBER ROW Access numbers without switching layouts. Klay's 5-row and 6-row modes both include a permanent number row across the top. Every number key has a symbol alternate — swipe down on "1" for "!", on "2" for "@", and so on. WORD-BY-WORD CURSOR NAVIGATION The utility row gives you desktop-class text editing on your phone. Jump the cursor forward or backward by whole words. Delete the previous word or everything to the start of the line. Toggle case between lower, Title, and UPPER. Copy and paste without leaving the keyboard. THREE LAYOUTS, ONE KEYBOARD Standard: Clean QWERTY with a full symbol set available by swipe or long-press on every key. Coding: Braces, brackets, semicolons, slashes, and equals on the primary layer. Tab key included. Built for writing code on mobile. Markdown: One-tap buttons for headings, bold, italic, code blocks, links, lists, and horizontal rules. The cursor auto-positions between delimiters. SMART TOUCH ACCURACY Klayboard uses a geometric probability model to resolve ambiguous taps near key boundaries. It considers finger position, key proximity, and letter-pair frequency — all computed locally, with zero dictionary lookups. The result: fewer missed keys, especially at smaller keyboard sizes. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE Remap any character key's primary and long-press actions. Adjust keyboard height from 75% to 140%. Choose between 5-row compact and 6-row full modes. Toggle haptic feedback, sound feedback, and key popups independently. Set your preferred long-press duration. TEXT EXPANSION MACROS Create custom trigger-based text macros that expand as you type. Set "@@" to expand into your email address, or "addr" into your full mailing address. Macros fire instantly with zero lag — everything runs locally. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Klay never connects to the internet. Your keystrokes never leave your device. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no usage tracking, and no data collection of any kind. Full Access is requested only for clipboard features (copy/paste) and is entirely optional. ADDITIONAL FEATURES • Swipe down or long-press any key for its alternate character • Double-space automatically inserts a period and shifts for the next sentence • Hold delete to accelerate — first by character, then by whole word • Swipe up from the spacebar to dismiss the keyboard • Shift cycles through off → shifted → caps lock • Symbols layout with every special character you need • Dark mode and light mode with automatic switching Klay is for developers, writers, power users, and anyone tired of fighting their keyboard. It does exactly what you tell it to — nothing more, nothing less.
