KeyboardKit is a Swift library that helps you build custom keyboards with Swift and SwiftUI. It extends the native keyboard APIs and provides you with a lot more functionality than is otherwise available.
The end result can look something like this...or entirely different:
KeyboardKit Pro extends KeyboardKit with pro features, such as localized input sets, keyboard layouts and callout actions, which lets you create fully localized system keyboards for all keyboard locales with a single line of code.
KeyboardKit Pro also unlocks a local and a remote autocomplete providers, emoji skintone support, the possibility to read all the text from the text document proxy, additional views etc.
KeyboardKit Pro requires a commercial license. Licenses can be purchased from the website or from Gumroad.
KeyboardKit supports iOS 14, macOS 11, tvOS 14 and watchOS 7.
However, the distribution is iOS only for non-enterprise licenses!
Please reach out if you need to use KeyboardKit Pro on multiple platforms.
KeyboardKit Pro can be installed with the Swift Package Manager:
https://github.com/KeyboardKit/KeyboardKitPro.git
Since KeyboardKit Pro installs as a binary, it only has to be added to the main app target.
The online documentation has a getting-started guide that will help you get started with the library.
The online documentation has articles, code examples etc. that let you overview the various parts of the library and understand how they all connect to each other.
The online documentation is currently iOS-specific, which means that some parts will not be available if you run KeyboardKit Pro on other platforms.
KeyboardKit Pro is localized in 60 keyboard-specific locales (read more):
