About Tessera Keyboard

Transform Your Typing Experience

Tired of the cramped, error-prone QWERTY layout? Meet Tessera Keyboard, the input method designed specifically for the modern touch screen. Inspired by the revolutionary 3x3 grid logic of the MessageEase keyboard, Tessera Keyboard replaces tiny buttons with intuitive gestures, allowing you to type with unprecedented speed and precision.


The 3x3 Grid Advantage

Stop hunting and pecking. Tessera Keyboard utilizes a streamlined grid system where common letters are just a tap away, and everything else is a quick swipe. By reducing finger travel and maximizing target surface area, it offers a typing experience optimized for the human hand, empowering you to reach speeds of 80+ WPM.


True Privacy & Security

What you type stays on your device. Tessera Keyboard does not track you, predict you, or store your typing patterns. It operates with an offline-first architecture, ensuring your personal data and keystrokes are secure and never transmitted. Internet access is used exclusively for secure Google Play licensing and premium features.


Desktop-Class Editing on Mobile

Tessera Keyboard brings powerful text manipulation tools directly to your fingertips:

• Advanced Swipe Controls: Access Select All, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, and Redo with a single fluid motion.
• Versatile Cursor Movement: Easily navigate through your text and expand or shrink selections with precision.
• Find & Replace: Edit text seamlessly within any app using built-in search and regular expression (regex) support.
• Integrated Clipboard History: Never lose a copied snippet again. Pin important texts and set auto-expire options for enhanced privacy.
