Fontessa - Fonts Keyboard

Fontessa is a keyboard. Not a copy-and-paste app you have to leave and come back to — a real keyboard you switch to with the globe key, type on, and stay in.

Pick a style once and everything you type comes out in it: Messages, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, a bio, a search bar. No switching apps, no clipboard, no pasting.


WHAT YOU GET

• 469 text styles — bold, italic, cursive, small caps, outlined, spaced, struck through, and hundreds of decorated ones
• 124 keyboard themes — colours, gradients, and your own photos behind the keys
• 818 symbols, 394 kaomoji and 44 pieces of text art, tap to copy
• Favourites and recents, so the styles you actually use stay at the top
• A theme editor for making your own

Every style is ordinary Unicode. Nothing is an image, and nothing needs the other app to add support for it — your message stays readable wherever it lands.


THE KEYBOARD CANNOT PHONE HOME

Most font keyboards ask for Full Access and give you a privacy policy full of maybes. Here is the specific promise instead:

The keyboard extension contains no networking code. Not disabled, not switched off behind a setting — absent from the built extension, with an automated check that fails our release if any is added. Your keystrokes are transformed on your device, character by character, and forgotten.

Full Access is optional. iOS asks for it so the keyboard can read the theme and layout you chose in the app. Leave it off and the keyboard still types.


FREE, AND WHAT PRO ADDS

The free version is a real keyboard, not a trial: 39 styles and 22 themes, no time limit. It shows ads.

Fontessa Pro unlocks all 469 styles and all 124 themes and removes the ads. Monthly, yearly, or a one-off lifetime purchase — the lifetime one is a single payment with no subscription and nothing to cancel.

Symbols, kaomoji and text art are free for everyone, Pro or not.


SETTING IT UP

iOS makes you add a keyboard by hand. The app walks you through it: Settings › General › Keyboard › Keyboards › Fontessa, then the globe key while you type.

Requires iOS 26.
