## Description

**Keyboard Switcher** is an open-source, ad-free tool that lets you switch between virtual keyboards quickly. It offers multiple access methods: a discreet on-screen floating button, a keyboard shortcut, a tile, or a system notification.

Note: On Android Lollipop and newer, some devices provide native keyboard switching via space-bar long press; Keyboard Switcher provides a convenient alternative when OS options are limited. It relies on community contributions and donations to stay running.
