Engineer Your Perfect Typing Experience

Stop settling for standard layouts. Keybuild empowers power users, STEM professionals, and efficiency obsessives to design a custom keyboard that moves at the speed of thought.

Instant STEM Notation

Put Greek letters, math operators, and technical symbols a single tap away. Perfect for students and engineers who need precision without the menu-hunting friction.

Ergonomic Layout Control

Bring your favorite mechanical keyboard layouts to mobile. Whether it is Colemak, Dvorak, or a custom stack-based design, you define the grid for maximum comfort.

Description

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!
