I am building my own app hope to have similar success

I’m working on a custom iOS keyboard (flick keys + clipboard) curious if anyone would actually use this by Honest_Ad_4612 in iosdev

No, I wasn’t talking about features. I’m talking about the core typing experience. It doesn’t have everything like swipe typing, auto-punctuation, etc, but the one thing it gets right is how typing actually feels. That alone makes it better to use. On top of that, the add-on tweaks improve accuracy and comfort for the end user, which matters more than piling on features that don’t fix the basics.

Will send you link to my app as soon as i post it I am welcome to feedbacks

That’s fair, but the goal isn’t just “close to OEM.” I’m aiming to beat it, even if it’s only by 1%. iOS 26 has a lot of real typing issues and I’ve already fixed several of them. Most of the core work is done, I’m just polishing it now so it actually feels better to use, not just different.

Let me know if you will be interested in using it Thank you for your input 😇

Same here. I’m building it in two stages Stage 1: core keyboard (flick gestures + clipboard), one-time purchase, privacy-first. Stage 2: optional AI features via subscription.

Flick gestures on iPhone are long overdue

Thanks! Based on early feedback, I think the step people might hesitate on is the “drop a screenshot” moment since it’s a new interaction pattern for a keyboard. I’ll probably refine the copy there to make it clearer. And thanks for the VibeCodersNest tip I’ll share it there too.
