A license expiration grace period is important to consider when you sell commercial licenses that are distributed as files. A grace period gives your customers and their users time to upgrade without disruption. We are happy to now provide it by default.

Keyflow Shortcuts allows users to create custom keyboard toolbars. Toolbars have action buttons that trigger an Apple Shortcut, text insert, number format insert, or select all text commands followed by cut, copy, and paste.

Keyflow also has its own Shortcut actions like prompting the user to paste, logging to the main app, creating reminders in the main app, and much more. Please check out the website and sign up for new beta launches.

Keyflow uses @keyboardkitsdk as the foundation for a great typing experience on iPhone and iPad.

Using @rork and @keyboardkitsdk O was able to create a tool bar Preference settings view. This allows you to create different groups of tool bars, you trigger which tool bar preference you want by using the automations feature I’m shortcuts. I have added a active preference shortcut action on app launch that will automatically change the tool bars being displayed. Best work around we have and honestly given users for freedom for all their apps. This wad designed to get around apples 26.4 update.

@cameronmaciel97 Although this was based on private APIs you're not supposed to use, SO many apps need this to provide a good user experience. We hope that Apple either reconsider this change (very doubtful) or replace it with a public API. You can read more about it here: https://t.co/jRfZRlb4md

KeyboardKit is getting a new icon and brand design! We’re moving from a glowing keyboard key to an abstract design with two Ks on a gradient background that carries over our visual feel from the old icon into a new, glassy future.

Using @rork and ⁦@keyboardkitsdk⁩ I’m slowly building out the best workflow From a keyboard. Run shortcuts, view reminders, and stay on task!

Reminders Tool bar has a little animation on keyboard load pushes the user to notice it.

[Cameron Maciel @cameronmaciel97]

Using @rork and @keyboardkitsdk

Feature preview
Using shortcut action From main app

- Prompt user to paste
- Open previous app

Testing to see if X opens using the "Open Previous App" command.

The keyboard stores the app you’re in before triggering a shortcut. This reset on every app launch.

When creating your shortcuts you can add a open previous app to open the app you came From before triggering the shortcut, and you can put a prompt user to paste if you ran shortcut that is storing data in your clipboard for use.

[Cameron Maciel @cameronmaciel97]

Using @rork and @keyboardkitsdk version 5.0.8 is going to be awesome!

Key new features in Key flow Shortcuts

-App Intents (Prompt user to Paste, Open previous App, Get Current App, and create Tool Bar Shortcut)

- Paste From Clipboard Button When using app intent in a shortcut

- Open previous app you were in before triggering the shortcut (30 most used apps)

- Duplicate Tool Bar Shortcuts

- Rearrange Toolbar for each individual app

- Sneak peak of the premium onboarding. My gut tells me to do user selected features to pay for only what the user wants.

- Folder Grouping Shortcuts

- icon only tool bar shortcuts if you don’t want a name

- renamed App

- Cleaned up main app for better setup

Meet Tapling - a small companion that lives in your keyboard and taps along while you type. Type normally and Tapling quietly keeps you company. Keyboards like Tapling turn typing into a fun, joy-filled experience. See this case study for more info.

@keyboardkitsdk @rork

Keyflow Shortcuts will be the name of the app along with a new app icon.

Next will be publication with $0.99 for basic and pro feature might be subscription based along with a lifetime option probably as well. I’m still trying to think of more features I can I add to make it worth it in the long run.

Pro features so far will be

-App Specific Shortcuts

-iPad Collapse view when keyboard is connected.

Next version is fixing main app to be more organized on teaching user how to install a keyboard app.

Amazing work Cameron! Thank you for the mention and good luck on your launch. We'd love to publish a case study of your app whenever you'd like. 🙌

[Cameron Maciel @cameronmaciel97]

🚀 Just launched my first iOS keyboard app using @rork & @keyboardkitsdk

The idea is simple:
Run Apple Shortcuts directly from your keyboard so you don’t have to leave what you're doing or remember to run the shortcut later.

Now I can:
• Open specific text conversations
• Send tasks to my Evernote inbox
• Create “Waiting For” reminders
• Insert commonly used text
• Copy addresses instantly

All directly from the keyboard.

To ensure a great typing experience, the keyboard is powered by KeyboardKit Pro Basic, which provides a solid typing foundation while letting the keyboard focus on what it does best — running shortcuts.

It essentially turns the keyboard into a command center for your workflows. ⌨️⚡

What shortcuts would you run directly from your keyboard?

KeyboardKit 10.2 is out! 🚀 This release adds a brand new in-keyboard dictation engine, new view modifiers, and many new settings and improvements.

[KeyboardKit @keyboardkitsdk]

KeyboardKit 10.2 will include a brand new keyboard dictation experience, where dictation can be performed within the keyboard. This new feature also includes new progress views, volume recorders and visualizers, etc.

[Daniel Saidi @danielsaidi]

The new @keyboardkitsdk in-keyboard dictation is a huge improvement for apps that need dictation in the keyboard. The keyboard only opens the app if needed, then runs dictation in the background. The done button can be customized to run post-processing before applying the text.

KeyboardKit 9.8 and its layout performance improvements will be released in mid-August. After that, KeyboardKit 9.9 will be released with brand new Liquid Glass adjustments for iOS 26.
