NabuKey is a keyboard for iPhone.
DICTATION, ON YOUR IPHONE
By default, dictation runs on your iPhone with Apple's on-device speech engine, and your words appear in the field as you speak. You can also download other models, which run on the iPhone too:
• Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 (NVIDIA), 25 languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian.
• Nemotron 3.5 Multilingual 0.6B (NVIDIA), 8 languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Chinese, Japanese.
• Whisper Tiny, Base, Small and Medium, 99 languages.
CORRECTION
One tap, without leaving the conversation. With Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model corrects grammar, spelling and punctuation. Without it, spelling is corrected.
TRANSLATION
Write in your language, send in theirs. It runs on your iPhone with Apple's translation engine, 25 languages on iOS 27: Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.
TYPING
• Keyboards in 26 languages, up to six active at once.
• Swipe typing, autocorrect, suggestions.
• A dictionary per language: the keyboard learns the words you type. Add your own, pin them, delete them.
• Clipboard history, and Memory for texts you reuse: address, email, signature.
• Emoji with search.
• It adapts to the field: @ for an email, an Enter key that says what it does.
CUSTOMIZE NEARLY EVERYTHING (Pro)
• Create your own layouts, starting from AZERTY or QWERTY, as many as you like. Add, remove or move keys, gaps and whole rows. For each key, set its width, what it types, its label, its colour and what a long press shows.
• Gestures on each key: tap, hold, swipe up, down, left or right, each with its own action.
• Row height, number row, cursor arrows, .com, @, emoji, clipboard and dictation keys, a row of suggestions or of tools.
• 12 key shapes, 14 colour themes, gloss, light direction that can follow the time of day.
• Backlight from the edge, top, bottom, or Opal, with 4 effects (static, breathing, spectrum, wave), one colour or rainbow, and its strength, glow, spread and speed.
• 8 swipe trails: thread, comet, neon, smoke, sparks, flame, heat haze, lit keys, in 10 colours.
• 5 typing sounds recorded on real keyboards, 3 swipe sounds, 20 typing haptics and 7 swipe haptics.
LEVELS
With Pro, Max or the trial, writing earns XP. Discovery challenges open the first levels as you learn the keyboard, then what you write counts. Levels go up to 100: each one unlocks a shape, a colour, a backlight, a trail, a sound or a haptic.
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
Share your link. A friend counts once they have used NabuKey on 3 different days. With Pro, Liquid Glass unlocks at 5 friends and per-key colour at 10. Liquid Glass is never sold.
MAX
• The Prompt button: 16 actions. Rewrite (Fix, Improve, Shorten, Expand, Professional, Friendly, Emojis, List, Email), Understand (Summarize, Explain, Translate), Reply (Reply, Screenshot), Write (Draft, Continue). Refine the result: shorter, longer, more pro, warmer, another.
• Your own prompts. Choose and order the buttons in the app.
• They run on Apple's on-device model, or on your own AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or any compatible API) with your own key, kept in the iOS Keychain.
