A keyboard can convert text on-device while offering separate features that connect elsewhere. Those claims should be checked one operation at a time.
The maker’s privacy policy distinguishes ordinary local conversion from model and dictionary downloads, optional sync to a cloud folder, and writing or translation requests sent to an online provider selected by the user. Each feature has a different data path.
Before enabling anything, ask: does this operation need network access? Which text or files leave the device, and which provider receives them? Can sync or AI features stay off while basic typing still works?
The maker says its bundled keyboard can type without Full Access, while shared app data and imported schemes require it. Apple’s archived custom-keyboard documentation explains that open access enables networking and a shared container. That permission alone does not tell you whether a specific request occurs; the app’s enabled features and destination still matter.
This is a source-based reading, not an independent app review. We did not install the keyboard or audit its network traffic.
