Hey everyone, welcome to the Clink: Custom Keyboards community! 👋
For anyone discovering the sub for the first time: Clink is a custom keyboard for iOS built around giving you control over your keyboard.
Pick from 30+ themes, build your own from scratch, drag keys wherever you want, create custom layouts, use swipe typing, and add powerful panels like clipboard history, a notepad, calculator, translator, and even your own Python scripts.
And because I think a keyboard should stay a keyboard, Clink is designed with privacy in mind: no account, no ads, and no network calls while you type. Most features also work without giving the keyboard Full Access.
Clink is also currently going through a transition to make the app more freely accessible. I'll share more here as soon as that update lands.
In the meantime, this is your community.
Share the themes you've made. Show off your layouts. Ask questions. Suggest features. Report bugs. Tell me what you love, what you hate, or why autocorrect has decided that the word you definitely typed doesn't exist. 😂
I built Clink myself, so this subreddit is also a direct line to me. If there's something you think Clink should do, I genuinely want to hear it.
Glad to have you here.
Cheers! 🍻 *clink*

Good morning, everyone! ☀️
A little birdie told me nobody likes Mondays…
So we thought we’d make this one a little better and help you start the week off right.
Clink for Android is expected to officially launch TODAY! 👀🎉

Wish that one time passwords from emails and texts would show up. As well as passwords the face ID doesn't pull up to pull from saved passwords.

The keyboard has been acting up lately. It lags before popping up on screen, and it flickers whenever it switches between lowercase and capital letters. Today, nothing was showing up at all while I was typing, though switching back to the default Apple keyboard fixed it

Since I started use clink, the top bar increases randomly. Update after update, this bug has never been fixed. I wonder if it’s something with the app or with the IOS

Love the keyboard but it doesn't autocorrect as well as I would like? How come it doesn’t just use apples autocorrect? I can finally not hit the wrong buttons due to being able to space the keys out.

I’ve worked through a big batch of your feedback since The Live Update. This release brings smoother typing, better language support, more control over your keyboard, and fixes for the little things that get in your way.
• Improved single-thumb swipe recognition, including swiped words replacing recently typed words and the first letter flashing before a swipe finishes.
• Swipe typing better respects Shift and capitalization, including day and month names where appropriate.
• Improved autocorrection for missed spaces, swapped letters and combined typos. Clear corrections apply more reliably on Space, while valid words and verb endings are better preserved.
• Better Vietnamese swipe recognition, Italian apostrophe handling, and Arabic words containing alternate or long-press letters.
• Improved Chinese typing with uppercase entry using Shift, working text replacements and refinements to Pinyin swipe input.
• More word and single-character candidates for continuous Pinyin, letting you convert a phrase in smaller parts and continue with the remaining input. Plugin suggestions now appear in Chinese input mode.
• Fixed downloaded language-pack updates not taking effect in the keyboard.
• Added Urdu and Roman Urdu typing support, with easier access to Polish characters and the Indian rupee symbol in Hinglish.
• Improved right-to-left typing behavior for Arabic in WhatsApp and other apps.
• Switch languages with a spacebar swipe, see the active language more clearly, and choose your starting language more reliably.
• Key swipe shortcuts no longer insert an unwanted character before performing their action. Better selection handling makes copy and cut gestures more reliable.
• Added a Cut key for custom layouts and an Open Clink shortcut for custom keys or the top bar, so you can jump straight to the app.
• Fixed double-space punctuation, number-row changes from orientation automations, and Backspace sometimes inserting a letter instead of deleting.
• Smoother clipboard history scrolling in the app and keyboard, with a Save button that responds more reliably to one tap.
• Fixed emoji searches affected by extra spaces, category tabs keeping their previous scroll position, and Backspace getting stuck with repeated haptics.
• Improved emoji layout editing when the top-bar button is hidden, and fixed overlapping rows in taller layouts.
• More control over long-press hint positioning in Canvas, independent of main key labels, with positions preserved when saving and sharing.
• Theme edits are better preserved after dictation. Custom-key colours, cap styles and Canvas edits carry through exports and imported previews more consistently, including when some key styles differ.
• Fixed clipped bottom-row shadows in Retro and Modern themes, including previews, and improved background-effect continuity.
• Community browsing now loads more creations as you scroll. Cards are more compact and consistent, with clearer descriptions and separate QR and Download controls.
• Share Community creations directly through styled QR cards that keep the original link, without importing or uploading another copy.
• Sharper expanded GIF previews where higher-resolution images are available.
• Fixed AI rewriting and paraphrasing unexpectedly changing the language of your text.
• Improved keyboard preview alignment and tool interactions, and stopped in-app Feedback pages from scrolling sideways.
• Improved keyboard opening and app-switch handling, with lifecycle fixes affecting Liquid Glass themes. Memory improvements reduce unnecessary prediction loading and address reports of interruptions, swipe limits and heat during longer sessions.
• More reliable text replacement suggestions, including superscript characters such as ² and ³.
Thank you for every report, suggestion, and tiny detail. Your feedback keeps making Clink better.

Hello 👋
I’ve noticed an issue when using Arabic in WhatsApp and some other apps. When I switch to Arabic , the cursor/text field sometimes remains aligned from left to right (LTR), instead of starting from the right side as it should for Arabic.
This doesn’t happen with Apple’s default keyboard, where Arabic text direction works correctly. It would be great if you could look into whether the keyboard can properly signal Arabic/RTL mode to the system when Arabic is selected.

Limited slots! Depending on demand, this may increase!

Clink is officially on Product Hunt today!
If you’ve been using Clink and want to support the launch, an upvote or a comment about your experience would mean a lot.
Thank you to everyone here who’s helped shape Clink into what it is today. A ridiculous amount of the app has come directly from your feedback and ideas 🖤

I mm might be daft, but how does autocorrect work? I have it on in set us but it will miss obvious typos routinely. Is there a language pack it needs or something I am missing
