About this app

No permissions for the app, but all options for you!

Key facts:
• Full customizable keyboard (not just colors, also key positions and functions!)
• Use all available characters of Android
• No advertising

• Creation of stickures www.stickure.com
• Basic package can be used for free, extended design package and extended keyboard package can be purchased in the app (if desired)

The Keyboard Designer is a complete keyboard that can be used in all apps. It gives you the freedom to customize them, design a new keyboard yourself or, after purchasing the extended design package, import pre-made keyboards. Not only can you change the colors, but you can also freely arrange the keys and assign functions to them.

This app does not request access to the network - therefore all data remains on your device!

Create your own keyboard for Wear OS by assigning additional keys for terms you use most often.

Hint Wear OS: The keyboard of the smartwatch can not be modified on the smartwatch, please use your connected mobile device to do so and synchronize it with your smartwatch!

A keyboard must match the following requirements:

1. No connection to the internet
A keyboard is used to enter very private data like passwords. Due to this a keyboard must not request a connection to the internet. Only by this it is possible to ensure that no data can be send by the device! Also contacts or similar private data must not be accessed by the keyboard. This means: no permissions for the app!

2. Individual adjustments
The keyboard is the most used app on a mobile device. Therefore ist must be perfectly adjustable to the needs of the user! The position of the keys, it dimensions, labels, colors and borders do define the look. By the assignment of a powerfull function the user can enter a text very fast. So with this app you can create the keyboard like you need it. This means: all options to you!

3. Easy usage
As the screen size is very limited, entering a text is not easy. The present functions and their smart accessability allow the usage even in hard conditions (walk with mobile device in one hand and a coffee in the other) or for handicaped people. An edit bar shows the entered letters in a hughe way and allows to manipulate them directly. If it is not obvious which key was pressed, a resized view of the keyboard is shown with big keys. And if you ever want to do any changes on the keyboard, you can hit a key to open the designer and make it so!

4. Speed
A keyboard must react on a keypress very fast - otherwise errors are the logical consequence. This app does not use the functions to implement a keyboard that are provided by the system, but it shows all keys in a graphic. If a key is touched, its assigned function is send to the editor. Its very fast due to this simplified structure.

After the installation some example designs are shown. They alread contain all necessary keys and can be used or modified (e.g. to add your own special characters like umlauts, glyphs, change duration of pressed keys or make big keys). It is also possible to make completely new designs.

If you want you can purchase the Extended Design Package within the app. This will provide you additional features like export, import, rounded keys, color gradients and so on. You find more information on the website https://comparepackages.keyboarddesigner.com/

HINT: When the keyboard is selected, a hint is shown by the system, that the keyboard can collect data. This is shown even when a keyboard has no internet connection and it cannot send any data!

Keyboard Designer is infinitely configurable, and in spite of this, is very robust and elegantly architected. I bought both Extended packages for a ridiculously low price. It’s a bit of a slog getting some fluency with the settings, but if you want a keyboard to look and act the way you want it, it’s worth it (for a geek like me). The comprehensive documentation helps you get through architecture/function boot camp, and get airborne, -if you put in your time pounding on it. Took me a few days.

Thank you very much for your detailed and positive review and your support by purchasing the extended packages, James! It was a lot of work to implement the app, but it is so great to read that users like it! And the development is ongoing, I still have a lot of ideas what to improve! Have fun with the Keyboard Designer! 😊

*AMAZING* I have made the most perfect keyboard of all time with Keyboard Designer, and you can too! While there is a learning curve, the effort is worth it - custom button widths, colors, multiple functions per button - it's all there and more! No other keyboard customizer gives you this much! - and you can save your designs, email them, and use on all your devices! I don't know what I would do without this app - too bad play store won't allow me to share screenshots!! Tip the Dev, I did!

I enjoy this app very much. Only problem I have is its necessity for complex movements such as down-right, up-left, etc. Hopefully, there could be optional settings for convenience. Even for the free package, I have much variation to play with. Great app, would recommend if you're willing to take the time to make your own keyboard.

Hi Ferdinand, thank you very much for your positive feedback! 😉 I added the diagonal movements a few months ago because it was requested by many users. But you can just leave these actions emoty and it will work like they would not be there. Have fun with the Keyboard Designer! 😊
