About Kinetica

Kinetica is a keyboard for two thumbs at once. Each thumb swipes or taps on its own, at the same time as the other, and the two streams merge into one word. Typing "something": the left thumb taps S, then E, while the right thumb swipes O -> M and then T -> H -> I -> N -> G. Kinetica merges them into S + OM + E + THING. It is a spiritual successor to the discontinued Nintype, written from scratch on Android's public IME APIs: not a fork, and no third-party gesture or prediction library. The dynamic time warping, the trie search and the two-thumb merge are all in the app. The app declares no INTERNET permission, so nothing you type can leave the phone.

Accented words are drawn on their base keys and restored on commit * Several languages at once: mix two in the suggestions, or let the keyboard follow the language you are typing, each word learned into its own * Next-word suggestions beside the word's corrections, recent words on the bar, and a correction strip right after each word * Tap inside a word you wrote to swap it for another; swipe shift to change its case * Tap autocorrect with three levels; backspace right after it undoes it * Your words rank higher as you use them; slide a suggestion to raise, lower or block it.
