Layout engine

Suggestion rail
Corrections stay visible as ranked options. Navigate suggestions from a hardware keyboard or tap the intent you meant—no surprise silent replacement.
Physical keyboard
Use Option + arrows to move across suggestions, tune hardware behavior, and keep your hands on the keyboard when the screen should stay out of the way.
Personal language
Local evidence improves words, phrases, corrections, and motor calibration. Reset it when you want. Settings can sync through iCloud; typed text and local learning do not.
Inside Version 1.5
Four direct product screens. Real controls. No concept renders.




Private by architecture
No account. No ads. No advertising or third-party analytics. Personal language learning stays local. Optional iCloud sync carries settings only—not typed text.
