Clink: Custom Keyboards
Themes, layouts & emojis
USD 2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A keyboard that's finally yours.
Clink replaces the system keyboard with one you actually control: the look, the feel, the sound, the layout, and the extras. One-time purchase. No subscription. Everything runs on your device.
LIQUID GLASS
The only third-party keyboard with a true Liquid Glass look. Keys are translucent and alive. Predictions appear as you type, and each key ripples under your finger as you swipe. Four variants: Dark, Light, Mint, and Ember.
THEMES
Eleven built-in themes (Liquid Dark, Liquid Light, Graphite, Snow, Paper, Mechanical, Synthwave, Forest, Cinder, Coral, and Latte) plus a full theme editor to build your own. Set it to follow Light and Dark Mode automatically, or pin it to one look.
LAYOUTS
QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ, and Dvorak. Add a number row for one-tap digits. Turn on key popups, or the Liquid Glass popup variant, so every press lands exactly where you mean.
SPLIT KEYBOARD
Open a gap down the middle so the keys pull toward the screen edges and your thumbs reach less. Tune the gap width, set where each row splits, and let the boundary letter and space bar drift toward whichever thumb is free.
SWIPE TYPING
Trace a path and the word appears on lift. On Liquid Glass, each key swells under your finger as you pass, a morph effect no other keyboard has. Swipe now reads contractions like don't and you're, keeps the runner-up words one tap away when it guesses wrong, and learns the words you use. Dress the trail in seven looks: Solid, Neon, Rainbow, Sparkle, Comet, Fire, and Ocean, or keep it clean.
OFFLINE AUTOCORRECT
Autocomplete and autocorrect run entirely on your device. No account. No data leaves your phone. Works on a plane, in a tunnel, everywhere. It now learns the fixes you make over and over, catches real-word slips like tat into that, splits run-on words like alot into a lot, and ranks suggestions by what fits the word before them.
SOUNDS & HAPTICS
System click or a custom sound pack. Dial in the volume and pair it with haptics as light or as firm as you like. Full Access is only needed for custom sounds and haptics. Everything else works without it.
CURSOR CONTROL
Slide on the spacebar to move the cursor a character at a time. Precise edits without tapping into words.
CLIPBOARD HISTORY
Tap the clipboard panel to browse what you've copied and paste anything again without hunting back for it.
NOTEPAD
A scratchpad that lives in your keyboard. Jot something down and come back to it in any app.
CALCULATOR & EMOJI
A fully working calculator panel and a fast emoji picker, both right there on the keyboard.
NUMBER & PHONE PADS
Number, decimal, and phone fields get a proper digit pad instead of the letter keyboard, themed to match the rest of Clink.
LANGUAGES
Type in many languages at once, or switch one at a time with a swipe up on the Return key. The app itself speaks ten languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Malay, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.
PROFILES
Save whole setups and switch between them. Export a single profile to share it, and choose whether an imported config replaces your settings or becomes a new profile.
AUTOMATION
Auto-capitalise sentence starts, fix "dont" into "don't" automatically, return to the letter page after punctuation. Small rules that add up to a much smoother experience.
No subscription. No tracking. No cloud. Buy it once.
Full Access is optional. It's only needed for custom sound packs and haptics. Clink does not log keystrokes or send typing data anywhere.

Clink 1.3 is a massive update. Here’s what’s new:
• Neural autocorrect is now available in Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Malay, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. It understands the sentence around what you’re typing, catches more real-word mistakes and is much less likely to “fix” names, slang or words you actually meant.
• AI Tools lets you proofread, rewrite, shorten, translate, change tone or draft a reply without leaving the keyboard. You can create your own actions, edit the built-in prompts and see exactly what changed with underlines, an inline diff or a change list. It uses Apple Intelligence on supported devices.
• Custom Actions and Custom Panels are now available to everyone. Build your own text actions and complete keyboard panels in Python, test them in the built-in editor and share them as files. Everything runs locally on your device.
• Custom keys are much more powerful. Keys can have separate tap, shift, hold and swipe actions, sit on the number row, stay beside the space bar across layouts or open any built-in or custom panel. You can also import, export, duplicate and share complete layouts.
• Korean now has full dubeolsik Hangul input. Vietnamese supports Telex, VNI and VIQR. Croatian, Arabic, Bulgarian and Hungarian have received proper layouts, dictionaries and input improvements. Adding a language now picks a suitable layout automatically.
• Themes got a huge upgrade. There are loads of new themes, raised 3D keycaps, brushed metal finishes, key outlines, improved custom typefaces and more key press, entrance, letter and delete animations.
• Backgrounds can now move and react while you type. Choose from Aurora, Rain, Embers, Starfield, Snow, Confetti, Fireworks, Lava and more, then adjust the colours, speed, density and reaction strength. They pause automatically when your phone needs to save power or memory.
• Clink Pets have arrived. Pick from 17 little keyboard friends that watch you type, react to words and deletes, fall asleep when you stop and wake up when you return.
• The clipboard now supports named groups and smart filters for links, email addresses, phone numbers and images.
• The new haptic feel pad lets you adjust sharpness and strength together, with a live preview as you drag.
• The whole Clink app has been rebuilt with native iOS navigation, controls, sheets, frosted cards and swipeable settings pages.
There’s a lot under the hood too. Autocorrect and prediction now stay off the touch path, repeated work has been removed and haptics land as soon as you press a key. Fast typing should feel smoother, suggestions should be steadier and corrections should be both quicker and less aggressive.
We’ve also fixed number pads opening incorrectly in empty fields, invisible suggestion text on transparent keyboards, overlapping emoji, disappearing recent emoji, theme preview issues, audio and haptic problems, and a long list of smaller keyboard bugs.
