About this app

This app is for NON-WEAR OS (& non-AndroidWear) round and square smartwatches! For the specific Wear OS version, search for "FlickKey Keyboard for Wear OS". For the phone version, search for "FlickKey Keyboard for Android". (Due to technical reasons, these different devices cannot be supported in one app.)

FlickKey® Keyboard is the full performance keyboard for your smartwatch. Type anything quickly on your watch.

Compatible with square and round Android (NOT Wear) smartwatches and really small devices. It may run on your phone for a demo, but it is meant for small devices.

FlickKey solves the problem of typing on small screens by providing a novel six-key input method. It is NOT a miniaturized version of a phone keyboard - which do not scale well to small watches. It is a superior concept for true wearable pioneers that has taken years of effort to produce. FlickKey solves the typing problem with six large keys that you can tap, or flick in eight directions.

FlickKey does have a learning curve, so give it time to sink into your brain. (And try light quick flicks.) But if you still have the skills to learn something new, you will find that you can type quicker and more accurately than you ever expected you could on a smartwatch. Master FlickKey’s novel popup flick-keys, and you may find that you can type faster on your watch.

FlickKey includes Popup Flick-Keys containing whole words that can be entered by selecting words with short quick flicks. This is the fastest and most efficient new way to type, featuring shorter finger paths than other input methods. Thousands of words, symbols, and phrases can be entered with unmatched speed.

FlickKey differs philosophically from input methods that rely on disambiguation. FlickKey can enter all text accurately and quickly, and not just common words disambiguated (guessed) from a dictionary.

FlickKey's best features:

◆ Only six large keys
◆ Popup flick-keys to type common words uncommonly fast
◆ Many common punctuation characters on the main screen :-)
◆ Mix emoji and text
◆ Multiline input field on watches
◆ FlickKey is a full function input method - without limits
◆ Accuracy and speed!

FlickKey is a free trial.

Supported Languages: English, French, Canadian French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish

Note: It is not possible to detect round from square screens on many devices. So if the screen size is below 2.5 inches and of equal width and height, FlickKey will default to the round layout. This can be unchecked in settings for square or rectangular watches.

There are many different watches, small devices, running different OS versions. If you have a problem with your specific device, please contact support for a fix.
