Fully offline. Private by design.
A keyboard sees everything you write: messages, searches, addresses and codes. That is why Abu Sayed’s typing path has no networking code at all. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Important context: iPhone replaces third-party keyboards with Apple’s system keyboard in secure password fields. Abu Sayed goes further by never learning from password, OTP, or email fields.
No profile is created
No account, advertising, analytics SDK, or behavioral tracking.
You control deletion
View and reset learned words and local data directly from Settings.
Learning stops in sensitive fields
Learning and statistics stop in password, OTP, and email fields on iPhone and iPad, and whenever Secure Input is active on Mac.
Clipboard only when you ask
The clipboard is read only when you open its panel and saved only when you insert an item.
Do not take our word for it. Verify it yourself. These two-minute checks show that the normal typing path contacts no domain and opens no network connection.
iPhone and iPad
- Type with Full Access offGo to Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Abu Sayed and keep “Allow Full Access” off. Normal typing still works.
- Open the in-app proofIn Abu Sayed, open Settings → Privacy Proof to inspect the binary, sensitive-field, clipboard, and privacy-manifest boundaries.
- Use Apple’s network reportTurn on Settings → Privacy & Security → App Privacy Report, type normally for a while, and check that Abu Sayed has no contacted domains.
Mac
- Watch Activity MonitorOpen its Network tab, filter for “Abu Sayed,” and type in another app. Sent and received network activity stays at zero.
- Inspect live connectionsRun this command while typing. No output is the expected result.
lsof -i -n -P | grep -i 'Abu Sayed' - Inspect linked frameworksCheck the shipping binary for networking frameworks. No output is the expected result.
otool -L "/Library/Input Methods/Abu Sayed.app/Contents/MacOS/Abu Sayed" | grep -Ei 'Network|CFNetwork'
Note: Optional Voice Typing may use Apple’s speech service to process audio; Abu Sayed runs no server of its own.
A keyboard that learns with you—not about you.
Familiar layouts, smart suggestions and handy tools, all running on your device.
Type the way you speak
Avro-style phonetic typing that understands everyday spellings: ami tomake bhalobashi becomes আমি তোমাকে ভালোবাসি.
Three familiar layouts
Phonetic, Probhat, and National—keep the typing habits you already know.
Suggestions that learn
More than 6.2 lakh words, next-word predictions, and the words you use—learned on your device, never uploaded.
Edit any word
Put the cursor inside a word and pick a suggestion: the whole word is replaced, not just half of it.
English built in
Switch to English with one tap. Suggestions start from the first letter, and optional autocorrect never touches Banglish like ami or kemon.
Swipe, emoji and clipboard
Swipe to type, pick emoji, and paste from your clipboard—read only when you open it.
Your own shortcuts
Save phrases you type often and expand them with a short code, plus themes and keyboard sizes to suit you.
iPhone, iPad and Mac
The same typing engine everywhere: a touch keyboard on iPhone and iPad, and a system-wide input method on Mac.
In memory of those whose sacrifice gives us the courage to speak without fear.
Dedicated to Shaheed Abu Sayed and everyone who sacrificed for a more equitable Bangladesh during the 2024 Quota Reform Movement.
Shaheed Abu Sayed (2001 – 16 July 2024)
Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur
