Freemium
Kiiboard is a customizable Android keyboard for everyday writing, coding, terminal input, private credentials, and local clipboard workflows. It is designed for users who want configurable typing tools and on-device or direct-device data handling without an account.
What is Kiiboard?
Kiiboard is a customizable Android keyboard for everyday writing, coding, and terminal input. It lets users adjust layouts, keyboard geometry, behavior, correction, and positioning instead of relying on a fixed keyboard arrangement. Normal, Coding, and Terminal modes apply different typing rules for general writing, source code, and exact command entry.
The product also combines text-navigation controls, on-device typing assistance, local clipboard history, and— in its Sync Edition—private credential storage, Bluetooth keyboard output, and direct clipboard synchronization with a computer. It is built for users who want a configurable keyboard without an account, ads, or a cloud typing profile.
What can Kiiboard do?
Normal, Coding, and Terminal modes
Switch between three typing rule sets: Normal provides autocorrection and predictions, Coding reduces intrusive corrections while retaining suggestions, and Terminal sends exactly what is typed.
Text navigation controls
Use dedicated arrow keys, directional characters, corner drag actions, or a long press on the spacebar to open a trackpad for cursor movement.
On-device typing and clipboard tools
Predictions and downloadable language packs work on the device. Local clipboard history keeps recent text and images available for search, pinning, and later pasting.
Sync Edition private tools
The direct-download Sync Edition adds an encrypted on-device Vault for logins, secure notes, payment cards, identities, and SSH keys. It can import from Bitwarden, Google, LastPass, 1Password, and CSV, and includes an offline credential generator.
Bluetooth HID and local computer sync
Sync Edition can turn an Android phone into a Bluetooth keyboard for a computer, Android device, Fire TV, or Android TV. Its Windows and macOS companion synchronizes copied text and images over a paired local network connection using AES-256-GCM encryption.
Use Cases
“Everyday mobile writing”
Use Normal mode with autocorrection, predictions, a personal dictionary, and a geometry such as one-handed or split layout for routine messages and documents.
“Coding and terminal entry”
Use Coding mode for source code and Terminal mode when commands must be sent without automatic corrections. Arrow keys and directional controls help edit text from the keyboard.
“Credential entry on Android”
In Sync Edition, unlock the local Vault with the existing screen lock and type saved logins or other stored values directly into the active field.
“Phone as a remote keyboard”
Pair the Android phone directly with a computer, another Android device, Fire TV, or Android TV through Bluetooth HID, then switch keyboard output to the selected device.
“Private clipboard transfer”
Pair Kiiboard with its Windows or macOS companion to move copied text or images over the local network rather than through a cloud relay. Pairing uses a six-digit PIN, with automatic discovery and manual IP support.
