A keyboard in the colours of your launcher

A full keyboard: suggestions, autocorrect, glide typing, emoji, clipboard and an edit panel. Its look comes from your launcher: tiles with gaps and gradient borders with Hyprtile, glowing terminal text with Phosphor. Without either launcher, pick a look and one of 84 themes by hand.

A flow in your theme's colours, rainbow, breathe or steady, with LED strips along the edges. Pick the direction, speed and brightness.

typing help

Suggestions, next word prediction, autocorrect from off to strong, glide typing and your own text shortcuts.

keys

Five layouts, a number row and a terminal row, split keys on a wide screen and one handed mode on a phone.
