A translucent floating keyboard built for enjoying a big screen while you type.
On a Galaxy Z Fold, a tablet, or a phone turned sideways, an ordinary keyboard takes away half the screen you just gained. This one floats over it instead.
■ Your screen never shrinks
A normal keyboard shoves the app upward. This one stays translucent, so the app behind it remains fully visible. Type over maps, web pages, documents, and video without losing your view.
Touches outside the keyboard panel go straight through to the app underneath. You can pan a map or scroll a page while the keyboard is up.
■ Split keyboard
On a wide screen the keyboard can break into two halves pinned to the edges, so you can hold the device in both hands and thumb-type. There is a space bar on each half.
The empty middle stays fully see-through, and touches pass through it.
You decide when it splits — automatic (wide screens only), always, or never.
■ Like a real keyboard
· ⇥ Tab — jump to the next field in a form
· ⇪ Caps Lock (double-tapping ⇧ works too)
· Home-position markers on F and J — like the bumps on a physical keyboard, they stay visible at any transparency
· ⇥ and ⇪ are off by default — turn them on in Settings › Key layout
■ Tune it exactly how you want
· Transparency 0-99% — drag the slider on the keyboard's top bar
· Vertical position — drag the ≡ handle (top right) up or down; it stays where you drop it
· Move the caret — drag the same ≡ handle left or right
· Fade the top bar too — the ◐ / ○ toggle
· How far the top bar may fade — in settings
· Key height 70-150%, width 60-100%
· Haptic feedback on or off
At any transparency the ≡ handle stays visible, so you never lose the keyboard.
■ 72 keyboard layouts
English plus Español · Français · Deutsch · Português · 日本語 · 한국어 and more
See the full list in the app under Settings › Keyboard languages.
The 🌐 key cycles only through the layouts you enable. Two symbol pages included. Korean uses a proper 2-set Hangul composer.
■ 72 interface languages
Follows your device language automatically.
■ Premium — one-time purchase, not a subscription
· App profiles — each app remembers its own transparency, position and size
· Emoji keyboard — category palette plus a recents row
· Clipboard history — your last 20 copied items. Tap to paste, long-press to delete
· Voice input — tap 🎤 and speak; the text goes straight in
Pay once and keep it. Purchases restore on a new device or reinstall with the same Google account.
■ Privacy — a keyboard has to be careful
· Nothing you type is stored or transmitted anywhere.
· No advertising SDK, no analytics SDK, no tracking.
· Clipboard history (premium) is stored only on your device and can be deleted at any time.
· The microphone is active only while 🎤 is engaged. The app stores no audio; speech is handed to the recognition engine already installed on your device to be turned into text.

■ Before you install
· Because it never pushes the screen, the keyboard may cover a text field pinned to the very bottom. Drag the ≡ handle upward.
· The split layout is meant for wide screens and does not turn on by itself on an ordinary phone (you can force it on in settings).
· Japanese supports direct kana input only. Kana-to-kanji conversion is NOT supported.
· Vietnamese is typed with Telex (e.g. aa→â, s·f·r·x·j for tones), and tones can also be added by long-press.
· Hindi uses a direct Devanagari layout. Romanized input is NOT supported.
· Chinese (pinyin) input is NOT supported. Chinese is available for the app interface only.
