Description

RuneKeys provides keyboards for writing in runes: • Elder Futhark: - Keyboard for transcribing English - Keyboard for transcribing German - Pure Elder Futhark keyboard • Anglo-Saxon Futhork: - Keyboard for transcribing English - Pure Anglo-Saxon Futhork keyboard As the keys of the keyboards provided by the system do, keys of the rune keyboards reveal additional characters and symbols when pressed and hold. Among these are variations (e.g. of the *hagalaz rune), alternative transcriptions, and related characters (e.g. 2 and ²). P R I V A C Y   S T A T E M E N T I design my software following the principle to only collect, process, and store data that is actually needed for the software to serve its purpose. No single bit more than that. In German, the name of this principle is "Datensparsamkeit." A literal translation of this word is "data thrift". In effect, this means: • RuneKeys has no user accounts. RuneKeys will not ask you for personal data. • Data you enter in the RuneKeys app will not leave the app. In case of the provided keyboards, the characters you type will be passed to the operating system which will process them in order, for example, to insert them into a text field. • No personal data is collected or processed. • No user tracking of any kind is used.

    Could not use in any other apps expect rune app. No way to give full access. Useless.
  • DO NOT BUY

    Can’t be used in text will not allow for translation for anyone else seeing it waste of money. Had it for literally 3 minutes, and regret it. Glad I can delete, congrats on your money farm dev

    I grabbed this keyboard after realizing that a bundle with it and the dev’s IPA keyboard is available. The availability of separate layouts for different runic alphabets is a nice design choice. Some similar offerings on the App Store try to cram multiple alphabets into a single layout in ways that don’t make much sense. I see that other reviewers have already requested additional alphabets, which are no doubt in the works. It’d also be nice to be able to set the default output for keys with more than one rune assigned to them. If the rune you want for a particular purpose isn’t the default one, you have to tap and hold the key every time to select it.
  • Great

    I really enjoy this keyboard. Very easy to use. I do wish the futhark in QWERTY mode would have sowilo and eihwaz in that keyboard.
  • Good but a few things are off.

    This is a fun app for anyone who wants to learn to write with the runes. However, the “s” is incorrect (completely wrong symbol ᛊ), and the “v” is incorrect by using ᚠ when it should be using the same rune as the w. Even the use of y is questionable but I can at least understand that one since the “j” in Scandinavian languages is pronounced as a y. If you can work around these quarks, it’s fun! Just use the keyboard with out the hints, although you’re still stuck with the wrong s. Overall, it’s decent.
  • Really good, one question

    I’ve been having a blast with using these runes and its very easy and fun to use, that said I am hoping that anglo-saxon and younger futhark keyboards shall be added. I would really appreciate it.
  • It’s really cool, but

    It’s a little odd that they used what they did for sowilo, or ‘s’.

    I love different keyboards and i might be only 11 years old but i already speak some old norse. But i would suggest a version in a latin alphabet.
