Transparent Floating Keyboard

A translucent floating keyboard built for enjoying a big screen while you type.

On a Galaxy Z Fold, a tablet, or a phone turned sideways, an ordinary keyboard takes away half the screen you just gained. This one floats over it instead.

■ Your screen never shrinks

A normal keyboard shoves the app upward when it appears. This one stays translucent, so the app behind it remains fully visible. Type over maps, web pages, documents, and video without losing your view.

Touches outside the keyboard panel go straight through to the app underneath. You can pan a map or scroll a page while the keyboard is up.

■ Split keyboard

On a wide screen the keyboard can break into two halves pinned to the left and right edges, so you can hold the device in both hands and thumb-type. There is a space bar on each half.

The empty middle stays fully see-through, and touches pass through it. You can tap and scroll the centre of the screen with the keyboard still up.

You decide when it splits — automatic (wide screens only), always, or never.

■ Like a real keyboard

· ⇥ Tab — jump to the next field in a form

· ⇪ Caps Lock (double-tapping ⇧ works too)

· Home-position markers on F and J — like the bumps on a physical keyboard, they stay visible no matter how transparent you make it

■ Tune it exactly how you want

· Transparency 0-99% — drag the slider on the keyboard's top bar

· Vertical position — drag the ≡ handle (top right) up or down; it stays where you drop it

· Move the caret — drag the same ≡ handle left or right

· Fade the top bar too — the ◐ / ○ toggle

· How far the top bar may fade — adjustable in settings

· Key height 70-150%, width 60-100%

· Haptic feedback on or off

No matter how transparent you make it, the ≡ handle stays visible. You can never lose the keyboard.

■ 11 keyboard layouts

English · Español · Português · Italiano · Deutsch (QWERTZ) · Français (AZERTY) · Русский (ЙЦУКЕН) · 한국어 (2-set Hangul) · 日本語 (kana) · العربية (Arabic) · עברית (Hebrew)

The 🌐 key cycles only through the layouts you enable in the app. Two symbol pages included. Korean uses a proper 2-set Hangul composer for natural syllable assembly.

■ 12 interface languages

English · 한국어 · 日本語 · 简体中文 · Español · Français · Deutsch · Português · Русский · Italiano · العربية · עברית

Follows your device language automatically.

■ Premium — one-time purchase, not a subscription

· Long-press alternates — hold a key for digits, symbols, and accented characters. Hints appear in the key's top-right corner

· Emoji keyboard — category palette plus a recents row

· Clipboard history — your last 20 copied items. Tap to paste, long-press to delete

· Voice input — tap 🎤 and speak; the text goes straight in

Pay once and keep it. Purchases restore on a new device or reinstall with the same Google account.

■ Privacy — a keyboard has to be careful

· This app does not declare the internet permission at all.

· Nothing you type is stored, and nothing you type is transmitted anywhere.

· No advertising SDK, no analytics SDK, no tracking.

· Clipboard history only works with premium, is stored only on your device, and can be deleted at any time.

· The microphone is active only while 🎤 is engaged. The app stores no audio; speech is handed to the recognition engine already installed on your device to be turned into text.

■ Before you install

· Because it never pushes the screen, an app with its text field pinned to the very bottom may be covered by the keyboard. Drag the ≡ handle upward to move it out of the way.

· The split layout is meant for screens wide enough to hold with both hands. It does not turn on by itself on an ordinary phone screen (you can still force it on in settings).

· Japanese supports direct kana input only. Kana-to-kanji conversion is NOT supported.

· Chinese (pinyin) input is NOT supported. Chinese is available for the app interface only.
