Clink keyboard demonstration
The keyboard app for iPhone + iPad
The iOS keyboard you actually own.
Set it up how you like. Nothing you type ever leaves the phone.
For iPhone and iPad. iOS 17 or later.
Themes
Pick a look. Or build one.
Solid colour, brushed metal, sculpted 3D keycaps, Liquid Glass. Start from a preset and change as much of it as you like.
Layout
Move the keys.
A number row, a split keyboard and one-handed mode are switches in settings. The Layout editor goes further, building keys, rows and whole extra pages of your own.
Sound
Pick a click.
Swap the sound pack, or make one from your own recordings. The haptics are Clink’s own, so they still work where the system click is off.
Automations
Take “own your keyboard” to a new level.
Plugins add the features you wish your keyboard had. Automations handle the settings you keep changing. Community repositories bring other people’s creations to your keyboard. Build a setup that does more for you.

Every language below has an on-device typing pack. The app’s own screens are translated separately, so Clink can be in one language while the keyboard writes another.
Languages ›Typing
One stroke per word.
Slide through the letters and lift. Slide the spacebar to move the cursor. Autocorrect and next-word suggestions run on the phone, with no network on the typing path.
Swipe typing on iPhone: one thumb or two ›Choose by what you need
Find the right iOS keyboard path
Jump to the guide that matches the job. Or start from the chooser if you are still deciding.
Best iOS keyboard (how to choose)
Honest comparison of Apple, Gboard, SwiftKey, Typewise, and Clink.
Add a third-party keyboard
The Settings path, the globe key, and what Full Access means.
Themes and Liquid Glass
Materials, builder, photo backgrounds, 3D keycaps.
Mechanical feel
Sound packs and haptics that feel like a real board.
Swipe and two-thumb typing
QuickPath-style swipe, plus two thumbs on one word.
Privacy and Full Access
Optional Full Access, offline typing, no Clink account.
Clink vs Gboard
Themes and ownership vs Search, GIFs, and Google.
Clink vs SwiftKey
Offline control vs multilingual prediction and Copilot.
Clink vs Typewise
Normal layouts and deep themes vs hex privacy branding.
Dictation
Say it, or rewrite it.
Dictate straight into the field you’re in. Proofread, shorten or change the tone of what’s already there, without leaving the app.
Dictation
Dictation uses on-device SpeechTranscriber when available on iOS 26 with its language resources ready. The compatibility speech recognizer can send audio to Apple’s servers, including while those resources download. Dictation is not always offline.
Tools
The tools come with the keyboard.
Clipboard history, a notepad, a calculator, a translator. Open one, use it, carry on typing. Emoji is free; the rest is Membership.
Plugins
If it’s missing, write it.
A plugin is a short Python script that runs in the keyboard. WPM Spacebar puts your typing speed on the space bar. Typewriter gives the keys round caps with a chrome ring. Get plugins from a repository, or write one in the app.
Plugins can’t reach the internet or read your files. They come with Membership.
SHORT = {"omw": "on my way", "brb": "be right back"}
def on_key(key, state):
words = context()["before"].split()
if key == " " and words and words[-1] in SHORT:
word = words[-1]
# the space is in already, swap it too
replace(len(word) + 1, SHORT[word] + " ")
return statePreview
A closer look.
Community
Packs from the community
Clink reads themes, layouts, sounds, fonts, profiles, panels, actions and plugins from public GitHub repositories. Browse official shelves in the app, add community ones beside them, and install a pack without making an account.
Make something worth sharing and publish it as a release. Other people add your repository by name; Clink verifies every file before it lands on their phone.
Privacy
Typing stays on device. Cloud AI is your choice.
Full Access is optional for typing. It enables clipboard features, custom feedback and cloud AI requests you choose to run. Suggestions and predictions stay on device.
Membership
