Features & Capabilities

Sivudesa is a mobile toolkit made for Sri Lankans that combines a fast, accurate Sinhala keyboard with a Sri Lankan calendar, diary, notebook and quick contact book. The app offers two enhanced Sinhala layouts — an optimized Wijesekara and an improved Singlish transliteration — plus English, emoji and symbol layouts. Special keyboard features include smart Unicode rendering, cursor control via long-press, double-tap shortcuts, and fully customizable free themes.

Designed for everyday use, Sivudesa helps you type Sinhala quickly and correctly (with phonetic suggestions, Murdhaja handling and pilla shortcuts), manage events and reminders, jot notes, and access essential hotline numbers. Privacy is central: user data stays with the user and is not collected, shared, or sold. The app is ad-supported via Google Ads. Visit the Sivudesa Facebook page for updates and support.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Sivudesa for its comprehensive Sinhala letter set, ease of use, and helpful features like theme customization and English switching. However, recent updates have introduced stability issues on Android 13, including crashes and keyboard launch failures. Users also express concerns over constant tapping sounds that cannot be disabled and security alerts about keystroke collection. Some report difficulty typing specific Sinhala characters requiring kombuwa. Despite these issues, the app remains highly regarded as one of the best Sinhala keyboards available.

Pros

User-friendly interface making typing in Sinhala easy and efficient.
Provides all Sinhala letters and supports easy switching between Sinhala and English.
Considered one of the best Sinhala keyboard apps available on Google Play Store.
Includes useful features such as smileys and better themes.
Helps users send messages in Sinhala conveniently.

Cons

New updates cause the app to crash or not work properly, especially on Android 13.
The app cannot turn off tapping (key) sounds, causing user discomfort.
Security concerns due to permission to collect keystrokes as warned by Huawei Security Center.
Inability to type certain Sinhala letters with kombuwa (like "ge" in "gedara").
