About Wurstfinger

Wurstfinger - The Keyboard for Fat Fingers Tired of typos? Wurstfinger is a privacy-conscious keyboard with large keys and swipe gestures. Based on the proven MessagEase layout, it replaces the cramped QWERTY grid with a 3x3 layout optimized for thumb typing. Unlike mainstream keyboards, Wurstfinger doesn't rely on invasive word prediction - instead, it achieves accuracy through ergonomic design. Large, well-spaced keys mean fewer missed taps, and the gesture system lets you access all characters without hunting for tiny buttons. FEATURES: • Large 3x3 Key Grid - Optimized for thumbs, not precision pointers • Swipe Gestures - Access 8 additional characters per key by swiping • 26 Keyboard Layouts - Arabic, Croatian, English, Estonian-Finnish, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese (Hiragana), Japanese (Katakana), Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Spanish-Catalan, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Ukrainian, Urdu, and Vietnamese (with Telex input) • Compose Rules - Create accents through combinations (e.g. ' + a = á) • Circular Gestures - Draw a circle for uppercase letters • Cursor Control - Drag on the space bar to move the cursor, drag on the delete key to erase continuously • Haptic Feedback - Customizable vibration intensity • Fully Adjustable - Scale keyboard size to your preference PRIVACY FIRST: • No data collection • No network access • No word prediction tracking • All processing happens locally on your device Wurstfinger requires training - expect a few days to build muscle memory. But once you've crossed that threshold, you'll never want to go back to a standard keyboard. The gestures become second nature, and you'll type faster and with fewer errors than ever before. Your fingers will thank you!

What’s new

Version 1.4.1 · Updated August 11, 2026

Version 1.4.1 New: • Optional gesture trail — a soft stroke follows your finger while you swipe and fades out when you lift it. Off by default, under Settings › Gestures • New app icon: Liquid Glass on iOS 26, with depth on the Home Screen Improved: • Fast flicks are recognized as swipes again instead of typing the key's center letter • Characters that could not be typed at all on the new layouts: Thai ฬ ฒ ฑ ฏ and ฿, the Japanese 、 and 。 with the small kana, the half-space in Persian and Urdu, Arabic-script punctuation, the Hindi ₹, the Hebrew ׳ and ״, and the voiced kana iteration marks ゞ and ヾ • č ď ě ň ř š ť ž are directly reachable: the caron now sits on the return swipe of the ^ key, replacing the stand-alone circumflex accent that swipe used to type (the ^ itself is unchanged) • Diagonal drags on the delete key delete instead of doing nothing • A long press held across a mode or language switch no longer types the old key's digit • Double-space types a period only on two consecutive spaces, and inserts the sentence mark of the script you are typing • Forward-delete and capitalize-word respect an active selection • Coming back from another app applies settings changed in the meantime before the first keystroke, and the app switcher no longer shows an empty gap where the keyboard was • VoiceOver reaches the shift, punctuation and mode keys, and offers swipe-only actions such as copy, cut, paste and hide keyboard through the rotor • Key labels stay inside their key at the smallest keyboard sizes • Size & Position was shown in English whatever the app language, and is translated now, along with 70 corrected translations • Leaner rendering leaves the keyboard more memory headroom
