Description (≤ 4000 chars)
OSGKeyboard is a free, open-source custom keyboard for iOS 26 that turns
your voice into clean, AI-polished text — in any app.
Hold the mic key, speak naturally, release. By default the keyboard
transcribes your voice entirely on-device (Apple's iOS 26
SpeechAnalyzer + DictationTranscriber), and only the final text is
sent to the AI you choose to polish it — your audio never leaves your
device unless you explicitly opt into the cloud ASR engine, which
uploads recordings to the provider you configure.
WHY OSGKEYBOARD
• Works everywhere — Messages, Notes, Mail, Slack, ChatGPT, Claude,
Cursor, browsers, terminal apps. Anywhere you can type, OSGKeyboard
types for you.
• Push-to-talk, the way voice should work. No more "Hey Siri" mode that
listens to the whole room.
• On-device speech recognition by default. Powered by Apple's iOS 26
speech pipeline — no audio upload unless you explicitly enable the
optional cloud ASR engine (confirmation required).
• Bring-your-own AI. Connect any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenAI,
DeepSeek, Qwen DashScope, Moonshot, Zhipu, your own self-hosted
server). Your API key stays in the iOS Keychain.
• Three polish modes:
– Off: raw transcript.
– Transcribe: just the cleaned-up text.
– Polish: punctuation, structure, and grammar via your chosen LLM.
• Continuous flow. One session, many utterances — no need to re-open
the host app between thoughts.
• Zero dependencies. No trackers, no analytics, no crash reporters.
The whole project is ~8,700 lines of Swift you can audit in an
afternoon.
• Privacy first. PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy declares exactly what the app
touches (voice audio + transcripts, on-device by default, never
linked or tracked); we don't run a server.
OPTIONAL SUPPORT
OSGKeyboard is completely free — every feature is available without
payment. If you'd like to support development, Settings includes an
optional in-app tip (Consumable). It does not unlock anything extra.
BUILT FOR
• iOS 26 and later, iPhone and iPad.
• Anyone who types more than 100 words a day on their phone.
• Developers, writers, students, and translators who want voice input
that respects their privacy.
OPEN SOURCE
OSGKeyboard is MIT-licensed and developed in the open. Issues, pull
requests, and translations are welcome on GitHub.

Promotional Text (≤ 170 chars, editable without new build)
Voice input, everywhere. Hold the mic, speak, release — AI-polished
text lands at your cursor. On-device speech, your own API key, zero
trackers. iOS 26+, free & open-source.
Apple allows you to change the Promotional Text at any time without submitting a new build. Use it for launch-day announcements.

Release Notes (for v0.1.2, ≤ 4000 chars)
Welcome to OSGKeyboard v0.1.2 — our App Store debut!
This release focuses on review-driven polish for the iOS 26 launch:
NEW
• Dynamic ASR locale picker — Settings now lists every locale Apple's
speech framework supports, with an on-device badge so you know which
ones keep your audio on your phone.
• Apple-on-device flow polish — the continuous-capture session survives
app switching and can run for up to an hour in the foreground.
• Per-locale on-device indicator — choose Chinese (Simplified) and
you'll see the iPhone icon next to it, confirming audio never leaves
your device.
FIXED
• Light/dark mode is now consistent — cards and buttons follow the
active theme everywhere, including the in-app keyboard preview.
• iPhone-only lock — we removed iPad multitasking support; the app
declares iPhone as the only target family. This fixed TestFlight
error 90474 and the previously-misleading "supports iPad" badge.
• Keyboard preview cycling — tapping the disc now correctly cycles
through idle → recording → processing → idle, with sample
transcripts in the recording state.
• Embedded keyboard strings — Chinese and English keyboard strings
are now properly bundled into the extension binary, so language
switching works the moment you install the keyboard.
• Actool crash on iOS 26 — the legacy Icon Composer icon was removed
to stop App Store Connect rejecting the build.
CHANGED
• The keyboard's top divider line is gone — the subtle highlight
gradient is retained for visual structure without the hard separator.
• README is consistent with the implemented capability set (iOS 26
on-device SpeechAnalyzer + DictationTranscriber only).
KNOWN ISSUES
• Continuous mode requires Full Access (Apple's policy, not ours).
The onboarding flow walks you through enabling it.
• Some iCloud-synced keyboards can take a few seconds to appear in
the Add New Keyboard list. This is iOS 26 behavior.
We'd love to hear from you — open an issue on GitHub, or rate this
version to help others find it.
What's New in This Version
(Same as Release Notes, but shorter; the What's New field is also capped at 4000 chars. Apple displays it in the Updates tab.)
Welcome to v0.1.2 — our App Store debut!
NEW: Dynamic ASR locale picker with on-device indicator. Continuous
flow sessions survive app switching for up to an hour. Polish modes:
off / transcribe / polish.
FIXED: Light/dark mode is now consistent across the keyboard preview.
TestFlight error 90474 (iPhone-only) is resolved. Keyboard preview
disc correctly cycles idle → recording → processing. Keyboard
strings are properly embedded in the extension bundle for instant
language switching.
CHANGED: The hard divider line on the keyboard is gone; the subtle
gradient highlight remains.
We'd love your feedback — open an issue on GitHub or rate this app.
App Privacy (App Store Connect "Privacy" section)
Choose "Yes, we collect data from this app" because optional cloud recognition sends audio and cloud polish/translation sends user text to the provider selected by the user. Declare Audio Data and Other User Content for App Functionality, linked to the user, and not used for tracking. The exact answers are listed under App Privacy answers.
On-device recognition remains the default and does not upload audio. The app does not embed analytics, crash-reporting, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
Encryption (annual survey)
Info.plist declares ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = false. The
annual survey will be auto-skipped on upload. If prompted manually:
- Does your app use encryption? No (the LLM call uses HTTPS, which Apple classifies as "standard internet protocols" and is exempt under category 5 part 2 note 4 of the EAR).
- Is your app exempt under Category 5 Part 2? Yes (HTTPS only).

Notes to App Review
OSGKeyboard is a free, open-source custom keyboard. To test it end
to end, please:
1. Install the keyboard:
Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard →
under "Third-Party Keyboards" choose "OSGKeyboard".
2. Enable Full Access for OSGKeyboard (onboarding in the app walks
through this, but you can also tap it in the keyboard settings).
Full Access is required for the continuous-capture flow session
(network access for the LLM polish step + shared App Group
container with the main app). On-device recognition is the default
and does not upload audio. If the user explicitly enables cloud
recognition, recordings are sent to the speech provider configured
in Settings. Transcribed text may also be sent to the configured
LLM endpoint for polish or translation.
3. In any app, switch to OSGKeyboard (globe key), then hold the
purple mic key, speak, and release.
4. For the LLM polish demo: open OSGKeyboard's main app, Settings,
Provider. Enter any OpenAI-compatible key (OpenAI, DeepSeek,
Qwen, Moonshot, Zhipu, or a self-hosted URL). The default
provider "Custom" works with a local mock server if you have
one running.
5. The privacy policy is at
https://hkgood.github.io/OSGKeyboard/privacy/
6. Optional tip (Consumable IAP ByRockyACoffee): open
Settings → "Support the Developer". All features remain free before
and after purchase; the tip does not unlock anything. Consumable
tips cannot be restored (stated in UI).

App Privacy answers
Use these conservative disclosures in App Store Connect → App Privacy. They cover optional cloud recognition and cloud text polish even though on-device recognition remains the default.
Data types collected
User Content → Audio Data
- Collected: Yes
- Purpose: App Functionality
- Linked to the user: Yes
- Used for tracking: No
Audio is sent off-device only after the user explicitly enables cloud recognition. The configured provider may associate requests with the user's provider account/API credential, so the conservative answer is "linked".
User Content → Other User Content
- Collected: Yes
- Purpose: App Functionality
- Linked to the user: Yes
- Used for tracking: No
This covers transcripts, polish prompts, optional translation text, and personal-dictionary terms included in those requests. A configured provider may associate requests with the user's provider account/API credential.
