Beschreibung

Build your own keyboard! Touchscreen keyboards don't need to be one-size-fits-all, so let's change that! With Keybuild, you choose the layout, the keys, everything. Keys can be set up to type whatever you want! Letters, greek letters (ɑ, β, ɣ), maths symbols (π, ∫, ∑), arrows (↑→↓←), or even your favourite emoji can be added and organised depending on your needs. Create multiple ‘panes’, each containing keys arranged using a stack-based layout, and switch between them with either an automatic menu, or direct links. Add a small number row to your Qwerty keyboard, or have a try using Azerty or Colemak layouts. Build a keyboard that can keep up with your maths-heavy university course, or specialist profession. Or just make a dashboard for your favourite emoji. Or do all that and more, it's up to you! This app does its best to supports VoiceOver, and accessibility APIs. Technical note: This app is 99% SwiftUI, which is as close as you can get while we wait for the ‘SwiftUI Lifecycle’ to come to Custom Keyboard Extensions! SwiftUI powers this app's advanced functionality, as well as some of its more unusual bugs. :) Disclaimer: This iPad app is available on Apple Silicon Macs, but macOS currently does not support keyboard extensions. Still waiting for that tablet Mac!

  • Feature request: 3D press support

    Von burnsac100
    It would be nice if a 3D press option could be added to have more than just upper and lowercase letters for a single key. Also, maybe in the future support for moving the cursor forward and backward words similar to vim would be cool to see. And auto correction if that is possible because it doesn’t work on mine. Thanks

  • App works wonderfully

    Does the app support swipe typing, auto corrections? iPad default layout doesn’t seem to support basic extra features like those

  • Good for custom keyboard layouts

    For a while now I've beed designing keyboard layouts with higher efficiency than QWERTY, like TEIOUM, TRHIEO, and more recently, Quartet. I've been trying to find an app that could actually let me use the layouts to test them, but the only apps I found weren't that great or made you pay to use the outside of the app, often with higher prices than the 3.99$USD this costed, so eventually I tried this, and not only was I able to use my keyboard layouts, I was even able to link between various keyboards, for symbols, etc, add things like emojis, and even add keys which would type multiple keys, which would have saved me thousands of keystrokes if I had been using them in the past, since I often do a lot of manual database management. Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone who needs a truly custom keyboard in one way or another. 10/10. - PF

    I can't BELIEVE I went so long not knowing this app exists. I'm a language nerd, and it's always driven me crazy that almost none of the iOS keyboards for various languages have dedicated keys for diacritic marks (the way the German keyboard has keys for umlauts), so I made a modified version of the Portuguese keyboard that has keys for the tilde, circumflex, and acute accents, using Unicode combination characters that I copied from Wikipedia. I was worried it would be a huge headache, or that the app wouldn't even support extended Unicode, but it only took me like 15 minutes. The interface is so simple, and incredibly easy to use considering how flexible it is; my use for it has been pretty straightforward so far, but it really feels like it offers a staggering amount of customizability without having to navigate a labrynth of submenus. It did crash once the first time I converted a text stack into a key stack, but it autosaved my changes, and that was the only real glitch I encountered. I'm no app developer, but this seems like a masterpiece of GUI design compared to the loads of other apps that manage to overcomplicate simple tasks or overlook obvious use-cases. Just an amazing app, and absolutely worth the cup-of-coffee price.

  • Pretty good

    Would like to be able to move or change all the other keys such as “upper case, delete, return, 123, globe,” etc… if you can idk how to. Otherwise pretty good app

  • Works, but I don’t use it at all …

    … because this does not allow slide-to-type

  • Very good app overall

    This app has a lot of very nice features and works seamlessly with other standard iOS keyboards. Very few bugs and glitches, and it rarely crashes. And when it does crash it never forgets my completed work or anything like that which is very nice. I use this as a hobby linguist trying to make a better alphabet for English spelling, and I’m able to upload almost every Unicode character into the app and it always works perfectly with the more unique characters. One major feedback I would suggest is haptic feedback, not only for typing but also for long-press buttons, like how Apple does if you want to add diacritics to a letter like á or something. When using this app I never feel like I know if I’ve pressed the button long enough to activate the new letter (and I usually haven’t). But other than that, as the title says this is a very good app overall and has filled a useful niche interest of mine. It’s the only app I found that could fill my needs and it runs extremely well, so thanks!

  • Very useful app.

    I never write reviews, but this app has fulfilled a very niche need of mine that I've been wanting for over 2 years and I just now found it. I've built a keyboard for typing English phonetically in the Cyrillic script, something I do for laughs with friends. I have my own orthography and different letters I use so having it all in 1 keyboard is extremely useful. The app is very easy to use, I was able to have my ideal keyboard in under a few minutes and I've never used the app before. Thank you for making this, it seems to be the only app of its kind.

  • Just what I wanted

    I found this from Reddit and I’m absolutely in love. I like the idea of ð and þ in the modern day English alphabet and this makes it possible without icelandic spell corrections.
