## Keybuild 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!

## Keybuild Reviews in United States

### ***** "Perfect"
This app is flawless. I have tried many other custom Unicode keyboards, and this is the best, hands down.
-- soda.Tab, 2024-10-27

### ***** "Cool!"
But it needs to be a bit more smooth
-- Хтось288382, 2024-10-14

### *---- "This app really needs to have instructions"
Couldn’t figure out how to use Unicode to customize a keyboard AT ALL. Would it hurt to put ANYTHING about how to use this app?
-- fhfjfhfhfhdhdh, 2024-09-21

### ***** "Awesome!"
love this app! its glitchy here and there, but it does what i need it to do. in the future id love to see themes!
-- Torr, 2024-09-17

### ****- "Isn’t working"
Finally able to make it work… took forever to figure out how to add the keyboard. Still figuring out the app now… trying to figure out how to remove the shift function all together
-- Ganesh Taynak, 2024-04-15

### ***** "Feature request: 3D press support"
It would be nice if a 3D press option could be added to have more than just upper and lowercase letters for a single key. 

Also, maybe in the future support for moving the cursor forward and backward words similar to vim would be cool to see. And auto correction if that is possible because it doesn’t work on mine. 

Thanks
-- burnsac100, 2024-02-24

### ***** "App works wonderfully"
App does everything it says it does and more but I wish the sga symbols where included
-- grun2143, 2024-01-11

### **--- "Customizability questions"
Does the app support swipe typing, auto corrections? iPad default layout doesn’t seem to support basic extra features like those
-- Sheikh Srijon, 2023-09-21

### ***** "Good for custom keyboard layouts"
For a while now I've beed designing keyboard layouts with higher efficiency than QWERTY, like TEIOUM, TRHIEO, and more recently, Quartet. I've been trying to find an app that could actually let me use the layouts to test them, but the only apps I found weren't that great or made you pay to use the outside of the app, often with higher prices than the 3.99$USD this costed, so eventually I tried this, and not only was I able to use my keyboard layouts, I was even able to link between various keyboards, for symbols, etc, add things like emojis, and even add keys which would type multiple keys, which would have saved me thousands of keystrokes if I had been using them in the past, since I often do a lot of manual database management.

Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone who needs a truly custom keyboard in one way or another. 10/10.

### ***** "Saved my life"
I can't BELIEVE I went so long not knowing this app exists. I'm a language nerd, and it's always driven me crazy that almost none of the iOS keyboards for various languages have dedicated keys for diacritic marks (the way the German keyboard has keys for umlauts), so I made a modified version of the Portuguese keyboard that has keys for the tilde, circumflex, and acute accents, using Unicode combination characters that I copied from Wikipedia. I was worried it would be a huge headache, or that the app wouldn't even support extended Unicode, but it only took me like 15 minutes. 

The interface is so simple, and incredibly easy to use considering how flexible it is; my use for it has been pretty straightforward so far, but it really feels like it offers a staggering amount of customizability without having to navigate a labrynth of submenus. It did crash once the first time I converted a text stack into a key stack, but it autosaved my changes, and that was the only real glitch I encountered. I'm no app developer, but this seems like a masterpiece of GUI design compared to the loads of other apps that manage to overcomplicate simple tasks or overlook obvious use-cases. Just an amazing app, and absolutely worth the cup-of-coffee price.
