iOS 26 · custom keyboard

Fancy text, on the keyboard you already use.

469 styles and 124 keyboard themes. Type once and send it anywhere — Messages, Instagram, Discord, a search bar. No copying between apps.

    Real output from the app's own catalogue — these are Unicode characters, so they survive a copy and paste into anything.

    What you get

    Every style is plain Unicode. Nothing is an image, nothing needs the other app to add support for it, and nothing breaks wherever your message lands.

    469 styles

    Bold, italic, cursive, small caps, outlined, spaced, struck through, and hundreds of decorated variants. 39 are free.

    124 themes

    Key colours, gradients and your own photos behind the keys. 22 are free, and you can build your own.

    6 categories

    Classic, Fun, Cute, Decorated, Gaming and Social — plus your favourites and whatever you used last.

    The keyboard cannot phone home

    • No networking code ships in the keyboard. Not disabled at runtime — absent from the extension, and a build script fails the release if any is added.
    • Nothing you type is stored or sent. Text is transformed on your device, character by character, and forgotten.
    • Full Access is optional. Turn it on and the keyboard can read the themes and purchases you picked in the app. Leave it off and the keyboard still types.
    • Photos stay on the phone. A photo you put behind the keys is saved into the app's own storage and never uploaded.
