The perfect keyboard for big thumbs - type faster and more accurately with intuitive swipe gestures!

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 • 15 Languages - Catalan, Croatian, English, Estonian-Finnish, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, 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 space bar to move cursor, long-press for text selection • 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!

Just migrated from Android and was used to FlickBoard. Generally, I’d support taking a page out of their book! The particular things I miss are an emoji shortcut, an ability to toggle select mode and select text by dragging on the spacebar, an option to allow long pressing a key to type uppercase letters, and the mini single column numpad always on on the lefthand side of the keyboard. Solid keyboard overall. Would love some more features. Thank you!

A nice early version of a copy of the Messagease keyboard app. Even though Messagease hasn't had an update in 7 years, this one still has some catching up to do. The main missing feature is drag to resize. Long press on letter to type number is also handy. Finally, more color themes. But I appreciate your work on this so please keep it up!
