PullKey - Korean Keyboard

Type Korean with one thumb — and learn Hangul while you do.

Hold a consonant and pull the way the vowel is written. Pull ㄱ right and you get 가. Pull it up and you get 고. There is no vowel side to cross to, so your thumb stays where it is.

Tap for a final consonant, pull for the next syllable. Those two lines are the whole rule.

Because your finger says which one you meant, the keyboard never guesses — and nothing you have already typed changes shape behind the cursor.

■ How it types

ㅏ is a vertical stroke with a mark to the right, so you pull right. ㅗ is a horizontal stroke with a mark above, so you pull up. The shape of the letter is the direction of your thumb.

Because a vowel arrives with the consonant that carries it, one gesture makes a whole syllable.

■ It stays where your thumb is

Every vowel is reached from the consonant key itself, so your thumb doesn't travel — and no shift trip for tense consonants: press ⇧ and pull, or double-tap.

One-handed mode moves the keys to either edge, and you can set the keyboard height — on a large phone that decides whether one hand is enough.

■ It doesn't guess

No autocorrect. No word suggestions. No learning what you write. What you type is what you get, every time.

■ It doesn't take anything

Nothing you type is stored. Nothing is sent anywhere. There is no networking code in this app at all — turn on airplane mode and everything still works.

To fit the pull distance to your hand we count how far and which way your gestures go — never which letters, and never off your phone.

■ Learning Korean?

The gesture itself teaches the structure: pulling ㄱ right is "consonant + ㅏ" written with your hand, and a separate tap is what a final consonant is.

Practice comes in four stages, from simple pulls to full sentences, with each word's meaning beside it — 화장실, 얼마예요, 카드 돼요.

■ What you can change

· Pull sensitivity, or let it measure your habits and set itself · How long a linked pull stays open (하하 vs 햐) · When haptics fire and how strong · Keyboard height and skin · Hand fit — we watch where you actually land and move the target under it

From the app or from inside the keyboard, either way.

■ Pick a layout

Four, switchable any time in Settings.

· PullKey — pull a consonant and the vowel attaches. · Simple vowels — 2-set minus ㅑㅕㅛㅠ, so every key grows. Those four come from tapping a key twice, quickly. · Mui — simple vowels minus ㅌ and ㅍ; twenty keys. · Standard 2-set — the same layout as the stock iPhone keyboard.

Until PullKey feels natural, use the one you know.

■ Pick how it looks

Fifteen colours and thirteen quiet pictures. Each one is drawn as a small keyboard, so what you pick is what you get. On a picture you also choose how solidly the keys sit on top of it.

■ Also

· Latin letters, numbers, symbols, emoji · Pull space sideways to move the cursor, up to switch Hangul/Latin · Pull delete left to erase a word, up to erase to the end of the line · Save phrases with a title, enter in one tap; {오늘} {시각} fill in date and time · Abbreviations — only pairs you wrote, expanded on space · Optional row above the keys — Hanja, kaomoji, calculator, romanize, swap 한/A, date math · Five key sounds, three loudness levels · Number row; two spaces for a full stop

■ Trial and subscription

Three weeks from the first day you use the keyboard, with everything included. You don't have to do anything during that time and no payment details are needed.

To keep going: · $6.99 for life — one payment · $0.99 a month

It renews automatically, and turning it off in Settings at least a day before renewal stops any further charge. Even after the trial the globe and delete keys keep working, so you can always switch to another keyboard, and the practice screen in the app stays open.
