A custom third-party keyboard for iOS 8 built in Swift that imitates the look and feel of Apple's default keyboard. It renders all keys programmatically with CoreGraphics and serves as a baseline for building custom iOS keyboard extensions.

Use cases

• build a custom iOS keyboard extension
• imitate the default Apple keyboard look and feel
• create a keyboard with dynamic programmatic layouts
• add a third-party keyboard with dark mode support
• learn how iOS keyboard extensions work
• start a custom keyboard app for the App Store

When to choose

• you want a Swift-based starting point for an iOS custom keyboard
• you need a keyboard that closely mimics Apple's default keyboard appearance
• you want programmatic key layouts that adapt to device sizes

When to avoid

• you need a maintained, modern keyboard for recent iOS versions
• you need iPad-optimized layouts
• you need advanced features like hold-to-select alternate characters
• you want a production-ready keyboard framework with active support
