Description (≤ 4000 characters)

OSGKeyboard is a voice and typing keyboard for iPhone and iPad. Speak in
any app and insert the transcript at the cursor, or switch to Chinese and
English typing without leaving the keyboard.

VOICE INPUT

• On-device by default. iOS 26 SpeechAnalyzer and DictationTranscriber
  transcribe locally.
• Optional cloud recognition. Use your own provider credentials, or
  sign in with Apple and choose managed credits.
• Optional AI polish and translation. Use your own provider API key or
  managed credits; without either, recognized text can still be inserted.
• AI keyboard mode. Ask a spoken question, review the generated answer,
  then explicitly insert or send it.
• Edit the last verified OSGKeyboard insertion by voice before replacing
  or appending the result.

TYPING

• Chinese full pinyin, Microsoft double pinyin, and Sogou double pinyin,
  with optional fuzzy-pinyin pairs.
• English autocomplete, autocorrect, and next-word prediction from
  offline resources.
• Personal dictionary terms can participate in Chinese candidates,
  English suggestions, ASR correction, and polish protection.
• iPhone and iPad layouts, including iPad globe and editing controls.
• Optional clipboard history is off by default and keeps up to 15 text
  items from this device or Universal Clipboard in this device's App Group.
  Turning it off keeps existing history; clearing is a separate confirmed action.

PRIVACY

• Limited first-party product analytics; no third-party analytics,
  advertising, tracking SDKs, ATT, or IDFA.
• Product analytics never includes keyboard input, audio, transcripts,
  prompts, model output, credentials, or personal identifiers. It can be
  disabled in Settings, which deletes queued events.
• Local recognition does not upload audio.
• User-configured cloud requests go directly to that provider. Managed-credit
  requests go through OSGKeyboard's managed gateway to the managed provider.
• Provider keys are stored in Keychain.
• Clipboard history stays device-local, does not iCloud-sync, and is not
  sent to AI automatically. Text you insert may later be included when you
  actively invoke polish with your configured provider.
• Core use requires no OSGKeyboard account.

OSGKeyboard's own code is source available for audit and personal,
non-commercial local use. It is not MIT-licensed or open source; see the
repository LICENSE for redistribution and commercial-use restrictions.

Requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later.

What's new in 2.0.1

NEW
• A shorter first-run guide teaches dictation, translation, smart reply,
  and voice questions before the optional account step.
• Official AI skills can refresh without an App Store update.
• Private typing summaries and local Rime term suggestions improve insights
  without retaining typed text.

CHANGED
• iPhone navigation now uses the native iOS 26 Liquid Glass tab bar.
• Voice history retains private paired metadata for future style learning.

FIXED
• Signing out or losing a session now switches every AI path back to BYOK
  and blocks cached managed grants from consuming credits.
• Analytics uploads are safer during suspension, purchase confirmations no
  longer reappear, and account/settings refreshes are more reliable.

Notes to App Review

OSGKeyboard is a custom keyboard for iOS/iPadOS 26.

1. Add the keyboard:
   Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard →
   OSGKeyboard.
2. Enable Full Access. It is required for App Group communication between
   the keyboard and host app and for optional provider network requests.
3. Complete onboarding in the OSGKeyboard host app.
4. In any editable field, switch to OSGKeyboard and tap the microphone.
   The default local engine uses on-device Apple speech recognition.
5. Local dictation and user-configured providers require no OSGKeyboard
   account. The Account tab offers optional Sign in with Apple.
6. After signing in, Settings → AI Service → Use Credits enables the managed
   cloud path. The consumable products are `500tks`, `1500tks`, and `3000tks`.
   Purchased credits are verified by the account service before StoreKit
   transactions are finished.
7. AI polish and AI mode can use either managed credits or a user-owned
   provider key. Without either, local dictation still inserts recognized text.
8. Optional tip `ByRockyACoffee` remains a consumable support purchase and
   does not grant managed credits or unlock features.
9. Clipboard history is off by default. To test it, open Settings →
   Clipboard, enable History, copy text on this device or through Universal
   Clipboard, then return to the keyboard. Secure fields hide the clipboard
   entry point. Turning History off preserves saved items; use the separate
   confirmed clear action to delete them.
10. First-party Product Analytics is enabled by default under Settings →
    About → Privacy. Turning it off deletes queued events. It does not collect
    keyboard input, audio, transcripts, prompts, model output, or credentials.

App Privacy answers

Use conservative disclosures that cover optional cloud recognition, cloud polish/translation, and AI mode even though local recognition is the default.

User Content → Audio Data

• Collected: Yes
• Purpose: App Functionality
• Linked to the user: Yes
• Used for tracking: No

Audio is sent off-device only when the user enables cloud recognition. The configured provider may associate requests with the user's credential. In managed-credit mode, audio is linked to the OSGKeyboard account for service authorization and credit accounting.

User Content → Other User Content

• Collected: Yes
• Purpose: App Functionality
• Linked to the user: Yes
• Used for tracking: No

This covers transcripts and nearby cursor context used for polish/translation, AI questions and skill prompts, optional provider search requests, dictionary terms included in provider prompts, and clipboard text only after the user actively invokes a clipboard skill, names the clipboard in AI mode, or inserts it and requests polish. Skill results may also be handed on-device to an Apple Shortcut, while navigation addresses may be opened in the selected map app. Device-local clipboard history and typing-learning data by themselves are not collected by the developer.

Contact Info → Name

• Collected: Yes
• Purpose: App Functionality
• Linked to the user: Yes
• Used for tracking: No

The display name supplied by Sign in with Apple is optional and is used only for the optional OSGKeyboard account profile.

Purchases → Purchase History

• Collected: Yes
• Purpose: App Functionality
• Linked to the user: Yes
• Used for tracking: No

StoreKit transaction identifiers, product identifiers, and granted-credit results are processed to verify consumable managed-credit purchases, prevent replay, and maintain the account credit ledger.

Identifiers → User ID

• Collected: Yes
• Purpose: App Functionality
• Linked to the user: Yes
• Used for tracking: No

This covers the pseudonymous OSGKeyboard account identifier and scoped managed-service grant identifiers. Core use remains available without an OSGKeyboard account.

Identifiers → Device ID

• Collected: Yes
• Purpose: Analytics
• Linked to the user: Yes
• Used for tracking: No

This is an app-scoped random installation identifier. It rotates when analytics is re-enabled, after account deletion, or when a different account signs in. It is not IDFA and is not used across apps.

Usage Data → Product Interaction

• Collected: Yes
• Purpose: Analytics
• Linked to the user: Yes
• Used for tracking: No

This covers fixed event names for app and keyboard sessions, purchase-page interactions, and invitation actions. It contains no free-form properties.

Usage Data → Other Usage Data

• Collected: Yes
• Purpose: Analytics
• Linked to the user: Yes
• Used for tracking: No

This covers fixed AI feature categories, execution modes, outcome categories, and coarse duration buckets. It does not include prompts, transcripts, model output, audio, or keyboard content.

Do not select

• Advertising, marketing, product personalization, or tracking
• Email address, phone number, physical address, location, contacts, photos, browsing history, or search history
• Usage data or diagnostics stored only locally or in the user's private iCloud

Encryption

Info.plist declares ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = false. Network calls use standard HTTPS. Re-evaluate this answer if non-exempt cryptography is added.

Submission checklist

• Confirm project.yml still reads version 2.0.1 / build 87
• Open the existing Xcode project (do not regenerate unless needed)
• Run the release build and test suites on macOS with Xcode 26
• Replace screenshots with captures from the submitted build
• Verify the privacy answers against the submitted provider features
• In App Store Connect, add Device ID, Product Interaction, and Other Usage Data for Analytics; linked to the user, not used for tracking
• Confirm 500tks, 1500tks, and 3000tks are approved, consumable, and mapped to the server credit catalog
• Confirm ByRockyACoffee remains an optional consumable tip and unlocks no feature
• Upload, select build 87, add review notes, and submit
