The Keyboard Designer is a customizable keyboard app for Android devices that allows users to design their own keyboard with personalized key positions and functions. Unlike other keyboard apps, it does not have any advertisements and all data remains on the device. The app also offers a basic package for free, with the option to purchase an extended design package and extended keyboard package within the app.
In addition to customizing colors, users can also freely arrange keys and assign functions to them. The app also has a tutorial YouTube channel and a website for creating stickers. It can be used in all apps and even on Wear OS devices by assigning additional keys for frequently used terms.
The app ensures privacy by not requesting access to the internet or any other permissions. This means that no data can be sent from the device. It also allows for individual adjustments to meet the needs of the user, such as key positions, dimensions, labels, colors, and borders. The app also has features for easy usage, including a resizeable edit bar and a resized view of the keyboard for better visibility.
Speed is also a key factor in this app, as it must react quickly to keypresses to avoid errors. It does not use the system's functions for implementing a keyboard, but instead shows all keys in a graphic and sends the assigned function to the editor, resulting in a faster response time.
After installation, the app provides some example designs that can be used or modified. Users can also purchase the Extended Design Package for additional features like export, import, rounded keys, and color gradients. The app is made in Sauerland, Germany and is compatible with all Android devices. It also has a hint feature to inform users that the keyboard can collect data, even though it does not have internet access.
