The action keyboard
Nibit works differently from most keyboards. Instead of replacing your primary keyboard, it acts as a second keyboard that you switch to on demand.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”Android lets you have multiple keyboards (IMEs) installed at the same time. Nibit takes advantage of this: you keep your existing keyboard — Gboard, SwiftKey, your OEM keyboard — for everyday typing, and switch to Nibit when you need it.
A typical flow looks like this:
- You’re in any app with a text field open
- Tap the globe icon (🌐) in the bottom-left corner of your keyboard — this is Android’s built-in IME switcher
- Nibit appears — tap a snippet, paste from clipboard, run a transform
- Tap the globe icon again to switch back to your primary keyboard
The switch takes less than a second.
Why a secondary IME?
Section titled “Why a secondary IME?”Most people already have a keyboard they like. Nibit doesn’t ask you to replace it.
The secondary IME model means Nibit is always one tap away — in any app, any text field — without forcing you to give up Gboard or your OEM keyboard for everyday typing. It’s there when you need it and out of the way when you don’t.
