Invisible keys. Same QWERTY positions. Type by feel.
Less to look at
Your layout. Your level of visible.
In the app, tap the eye to cycle modes. Hold it to choose one directly.
A little guidance.
See the key shapes without the letters. Keep a sense of the layout with fewer visual distractions.
A familiar view.
Bring every letter back whenever you need it. Your visibility preference stays saved on your device.
Made for everyday typing
Small details.
Familiar habits.
English spelling suggestions and correction run on your device. Delete immediately after an automatic correction to restore your original word.
Double-tap shift for caps lock. Hold delete to keep deleting. Double-tap space after a word for a full stop and a space.
Numbers and symbols stay visible. Optional haptic feedback adds a little feel to each tap.
Once you have the app
Make yourself
at home.
Try the keyboard inside key_bored, then enable it to type in other apps.
- Open Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → key_bored.
- In a text field, hold the globe and choose key_bored.
- For optional haptics, enable Allow Full Access in key_bored’s keyboard settings. Typing works without it.
On your device
Your words stay yours.
No account. No analytics. No saved typing history. key_bored does not store or send what you type.
Why does haptic feedback need Full Access?
iOS requires Full Access for haptic feedback in custom keyboards. That setting also grants network permission, but key_bored has no networking code and does not use it. Typing and visibility modes work without Full Access.
Can I use it in every text field?
Some apps and secure fields use the system keyboard. You can always switch keyboards with the globe. key_bored currently uses an English QWERTY layout and does not support swipe typing.
