Keyboard Designer: Keyboard Description
No permissions for the app, but all options for you!

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!

Hint: 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!

Comments about Keyboard Designer: Keyboard Android Version
Updating my review for November 28th, 2023. I've had this app for a year or three. The app still works great. If you're new I recommend that you experiment with it to learn it. The really cool part of the app as that you can make custom panels containing symbols or strings you use often but don't want to go through the trouble of copy-pasting every time. For example: Frog heiroglyph. 𓆏 I also very much appreciate that there are no ads. I cannot stand ads so this app has been great for me.
As of version 5.3.1, the documentation doesnt explain all the features (eg, levels). Or maybe the level feature isnt working yet. Allows for separate portrait and landscape designs, which enable automatically upon orientation change (very cool when it works). The export/import process often doesnt transfer the target design & mode along with the "Change design & mode" function. Would be nice to hav a user forum and a list of issues already reported. Otherwise, its a powerful and useful app.
After using this keyboard, I dont't want to go back to any other keyboard app. The flexibility is astounding. I've placed my keys exactly where I want them, and added function keys for copy, paste, select all, cursor movement, inserting a custom string, and even loading an app. Each key can also have a custom visual symbol. Keyboard Designer is one of the first apps I'll install on a new device.
