about
- description
- Thumb-Key is a _privacy-conscious_ smart keyboard, made specifically for your thumbs. It features a **3x3 grid layout**, and uses swipes for the less common letters. Its easy to learn, and designed for fast typing speeds. Instead of relying on profit-driven, privacy-offending word and sentence prediction for accuracy, as do most popular phone keyboards like Gboard and Swiftkey, Thumb-Key uses **large keys with predictable positions**, to prevent your eyes from hunting and pecking for letters. As the key positions get ingrained into your muscle memory, eventually you'll be able to appromixate the fast speeds of touch-typing, your eyes never having to leave the text edit area. This project is a follow-up to the now unmaintained (and closed-source) [MessagEase Keyboard](https://www.exideas.com/ME/), which is its main inspiration.
