Efficient & Accurate Typing

JustType

Say hi to JustType - an AI-powered iOS keyboard, developed by indie developer Thomas Burkhardt.

What is JustType?

JustType is an AI-powered keyboard built by Thomas Burkhardt using KeyboardKit Pro, that aims to let you type efficiently and accurately on the iPhone.

The Story Behind the App

Since his BlackBerry days, Thomas has struggled with typing efficiently & accurately on the iPhone, where auto-correct often led to embarrassing mistakes. When ChatGPT emerged, Thomas used it to proofread emails, but found that copying and pasting text messages on his iPhone was inefficient.

Thomas found most AI keyboard apps he tried clunky and too expensive. Meanwhile, ChatGPT was affordable.

This inspired me to create JustType as a home project — an AI-powered keyboard app that corrects typos, grammar, translations, and mood adjustments with a single click.

For Spanish texts, Thomas didn’t just want corrections; he just wanted to learn from his mistakes by receiving feedback as he typed. Additionally, he wanted to build something highly customizable that even allowed you to create your own ChatGPT prompts.

Implementing the Keyboard

As a software engineer without prior experience in Swift or mobile app development, Thomas was surprised by how closed the iOS system keyboard was. That’s when he discovered KeyboardKit.

KeyboardKit’s feature-rich capabilities and extensive documentation provided me with a viable alternative. What made the biggest difference was the demo app, which provided clear, hands-on examples of key features, making it easy for a Swift newbie like myself to get started.

Encouraged by friends and family, Thomas decided to create a commercial version of JustType. To achieve this, he needed additional languages, enhanced autocorrect, and other features offered by KeyboardKit Pro.

Daniel, the creator of KeyboardKit, was incredibly supportive and responsive when I purchased the Gold License. Without KeyboardKit, I couldn’t have turned this idea into reality.

JustType will always be free for the dyslexia community, ensuring accessibility, while remaining affordable for everyone else. For more information about the app, see this video.
