MemoKey v3.18

Changed

  • AI rewrite has its own tab in the keyboard: it shows the text it will rewrite and your actions as buttons, with a Cancel while it works.
  • AI rewrite settings: pick the provider from a menu, Test the connection, and Save once it answers.
  • On iPhone, the keyboard opens faster.
  • The VN / EN button in the keyboard looks like a button.

Fixed

  • The sample AI actions follow the app's language.
  • The Remove key button no longer falls off the screen.

MemoKey v3.17

Added

  • Keyboard themes: nine looks, from Cute to Mechanical, in Settings > Keyboard > Theme and sound. On Android they color the whole keyboard; on iPhone, the keys.
  • Keyboard sounds: your phone's key click or one of seventeen mechanical switches, with a volume. Try them on the keyboard right on that screen.
  • AI rewrite now works with Google Gemini too.
  • An emoji row above the keys, your most used first, and an emoji key next to space that shows them all.

Changed

  • The keyboard's tabs look like tabs, with a VN / EN language button before them and a button that opens MemoKey after them.
  • On iPhone, the keys are the size and place of the iPhone keyboard's, and a pressed key stands out more.
  • The keyboard follows your phone's light or dark mode, whatever theme the app uses.
  • Your stats is taking a break: it is hidden for now, and the keyboard no longer counts inserts.
  • Haptic feedback starts off on a new install; turn it on in Settings whenever you like.

Fixed

  • On iPhone, the keyboard no longer goes blank or hands over to the iPhone keyboard by itself.
  • Fast typing no longer skips letters when a tap lands between two keys.
  • Holding Delete keeps its speed instead of slowing down.

MemoKey v3.16

Added

  • Rewrite what you type with AI using your own OpenAI or Anthropic key: set it up in Settings > Keyboard > AI rewrite and make your own buttons, like Shorter or More friendly, then tap AI in the keyboard, on iPhone and Android.
  • On Android, the Keyboard tab works more like your phone's keyboard: tap Shift twice for Caps Lock, tap space twice to end a sentence with a period, and touch and hold space to move the cursor.

Fixed

  • Vietnamese Telex typing in the keyboard works more like Unikey: put tones anywhere in the word, type "nguwoif" for người, and English words like "text" stay as you typed them.
  • On iPhone, fast typing on the Keyboard tab no longer lags or loses letters: keys at the screen edges answer at once, a tap between keys types the nearest one, and Vietnamese words stay whole in apps that update slowly.
  • On Android, Read aloud no longer pauses between parts of a long note when you use an online voice.
  • On iPhone, the keyboard is fully dark in dark mode, with keys colored like the iPhone keyboard, and its buttons share one look, with emoji no larger than icons.

Removed

  • Note shortcuts and variants are paused to keep the keyboard simple and fast. The ones you saved stay in your notes and backups.

MemoKey v3.15

Added

  • On iPhone, the Keyboard tab works more like the iPhone keyboard: tap Shift twice for Caps Lock, tap space twice to end a sentence with a period, and touch and hold space to move the cursor.

Changed

  • The keys at the bottom of the keyboard's Notes and Kaomoji tabs, and the Draw tab's buttons on iPhone, look and respond like the keys of the Keyboard tab.

Fixed

  • On iPhone, typing in the Keyboard tab keeps up with fast fingers again, the whole keyboard turns dark in Dark mode, and the #+= key label is no longer oversized.

MemoKey v3.14

Added

  • English words typed with VN on stay as you typed them: "text" no longer turns into "tẽt" when you press space, while Vietnamese words still get their accents. Turn it off in Settings > Keyboard > Auto switch English/Vietnamese.

Changed

  • On iPhone, the Keyboard tab's number and symbol keys are laid out like the iPhone keyboard, with a #+= page, and the strip above the keys shows your note shortcuts until you type one.
  • The keyboard's Keyboard tab feels more like your phone's keyboard: letters pop up as you press them, and holding Delete speeds up, then deletes whole words.
  • The keyboard's note cards show at most two lines of title and text and mark pinned notes with a colored top edge. On iPhone they're also easier to read in dark mode.

Fixed

  • In grid view, notes in a row have the same height, with or without a shortcut, so the grid lines up.
  • On Android, two fingers on the same key type two letters, and typing right after moving the cursor edits the word you moved to.

MemoKey v3.13

Changed

  • On iPhone, the keyboard's tabs show only their icons, leaving more room for your notes.
  • On iPhone, the keyboard's Notes tab shows your notes in a grid you scroll up and down, like the Kaomoji tab.
  • On iPhone, the keyboard's Keyboard tab looks and feels like the iPhone keyboard: the same key sizes, spacing and rows, with no gaps.

MemoKey v3.12

Added

  • Save note from the keyboard: keep a reply you just typed as a note without leaving the chat. It's in MemoKey the next time you open it, with Undo.
  • Tags that open by themselves: in Manage Tags, tap a tag and pick email, phone, web or number fields (and apps on Android). The keyboard opens on that tag there, and on Android it can remember your tag for each app.
  • Your stats: see how many notes you inserted this week and this month, and how much typing that saved you. Counted on your phone only. Find it in Settings > Keyboard.
  • Most used notes first: the keyboard can list the notes you inserted most in the last 30 days at the top, after your pinned ones. Turn it on in Settings > Keyboard > Sort notes in keyboard.
  • Fill line by line: fill a form field by field from one note. In the keyboard, touch and hold a note and tap each field once: name, phone, email, address. Try it with the Shipping details example note.
  • Variants: keep short, long or English versions of a reply in one note; search finds them and the keyboard remembers which one you send.
  • Open a template pack a colleague sent you: see its notes first, then add them to your library in one tap. Changed your mind? Undo.
  • Share your templates with a colleague: select notes on Home, or tap Share on a tag in Manage Tags, and send them as a template pack they open in MemoKey.
  • Template packs for your work: online sales, customer support, office or personal notes with tags and shortcuts, added in one tap when you first open MemoKey, on an empty Home or in Settings > Example Notes.

Changed

  • Haptic Feedback is now the first switch in Settings > Keyboard, so you can turn key vibration on or off quickly.
  • The Android keyboard's tabs show only their icons, leaving more room for your notes.

Fixed

  • The keyboard's Keyboard tab types the moment your finger lands, on iPhone and Android, so fast two-thumb typing no longer drops letters.

MemoKey v3.11

Added

  • Shortcuts for notes: give a note a short code like ;addr, then type it in the MemoKey keyboard's Keyboard tab and press space. The note takes its place, Telex included.
  • Shortcut suggestions: while you type in the Keyboard tab, your matching shortcuts show above the keys. Tap one to insert its note.
  • The keyboard's Notes tab shows each note's shortcut on its card.
  • All your shortcuts in one place: Settings > Keyboard > Note shortcuts lists them A to Z. Tap one to open its note.
  • An error log you can send to support: Settings > About > Error log keeps recent error codes on your phone, never your notes, and shares them only when you choose.

Changed

  • Easier first run: setup helps you turn on the keyboard and paste your first note, with an example note ready to try.
  • A shorter Settings: a few groups, each opening its own page.
  • The keyboards fit large text and landscape better.
  • Pro explains itself: the Upgrade row and a short sheet before the upgrade screen say what Pro gives, and you're told when you're offline.

Fixed

  • An edit that can't be saved is never lost: the note says so and offers Retry.
  • Auto backup checks your last backup is still there and backs up again if it was deleted.
  • Shift turns on after quotes and ellipses, plus VoiceOver and TalkBack fixes.
  • The Android keyboard tells you when it can't check your passcode, and both keyboards say when kaomoji can't open, with Try Again.

MemoKey v3.10

Changed

  • Auto backup now uploads only when something changed, saving mobile data and cloud space.

Removed

  • Photos in notes are gone. Your notes and their text are safe.

MemoKey v3.9

Added

  • New tabs: Notes, Keyboard and Kaomoji (plus Draw on iPhone and iPad). Type a reply without swapping keyboards.
  • Copy a note in one tap from Quick Settings, Control Center, the Lock Screen, the Action button or the Home Screen widget, without opening MemoKey.
  • Find and Replace can match whole words, letter case, or just one tag.
  • Previous Versions brings back an earlier text of a note after an edit you regret.
  • Undo after deleting a note, so a slip of the thumb is no longer final.
  • Scan text from up to 10 photos at once.
  • New editor tools: Copy, Insert Note and Style Text.
  • Tap a tag on a card to see its notes, and add text to a note from Shortcuts (iPhone and iPad).

  • Undo after moving notes to Trash.

  • Fill-in fields can offer choices to tap, like {ask:Size|S,M,L}.
  • Filter Home by several tags at once. Search highlights what it found.
  • Import from Evernote, Mac Text Replacements and Gboard, or open a backup straight from Files or Mail.
  • Find and Replace changes a phone number, price or link in every note at once, with Undo.
  • Scan Text reads a photo into a note, right on your phone. The photo never leaves it.
  • Example Notes: ready-made notes for support replies, sellers, invoices and more, so you don't start from a blank page.

MemoKey v3.6

Added

  • Preview a note before inserting it, Undo a wrong one, and a Recent chip.
  • New placeholders: {date+3}, {clipboard} and {ask:Name} fill-ins.
  • Reorder pinned notes and tags, find duplicates, restore from a CSV spreadsheet, and back up to a folder.
  • Android: a Search notes tile in Quick Settings, and Wallpaper colors (Pro).

Fixed

  • Small fixes for Contact Support and large text.

MemoKey v3.5

Added

  • A Home Screen widget with your pinned notes, plus Lock Screen widgets.
