Flickless Keyboard

Overview

Flickless Keyboard is a Japanese keyboard for iPhone. It consists of the app and a keyboard extension. Neither collects the text you type or any personal information, and neither sends data off your device.

Effective date: November 5, 2026

Data Collection

Neither Flickless Keyboard nor its developer collects typed text, conversion history, contacts, location, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, or usage data. The app and the keyboard do not communicate with any server. Kana-to-kanji conversion (Mozc) and English word completion run entirely on your device.

Data Stored on Your Device

To make typing more convenient, the following data is stored only on your device, in storage that only the app and its keyboard extension can read. It is never sent off your device.

  • Settings: hold speed, haptic strength, dialect mode, and secret mode
  • Conversion learning: the candidates you choose, so frequently used ones appear first. Nothing is learned while secret mode is on.
  • Recently used emoji (not recorded while secret mode is on) and the skin tone you chose for each emoji
  • How often you use the small kana and dakuten key, so typo correction can adapt to how you type
  • Typing statistics: counts and timings, such as how long you hold a key before releasing it and how often you correct a typo. They do not include the text you type.
  • Setup progress: whether the keyboard has been added and whether Full Access has been allowed

Full Access

The app asks you to turn on Allow Full Access for the keyboard in iOS Settings, for two reasons:

  • To play haptic feedback while you hold a key. iOS does not let a keyboard play haptics without Full Access.
  • To share the settings you change in the app, and the conversion learning, with the keyboard.

Even with Full Access allowed, the keyboard does not use the network and does not send the text you type off your device.

Advertising, Analytics, and Tracking

Flickless Keyboard has no account registration, advertising, analytics SDKs, or tracking across apps and websites, and does not share data with third parties.

Diagnostics from Apple

If you have turned on Share With App Developers in iOS Settings, the developer may receive crash reports through Apple. They do not contain the text you type and are used only to fix problems.

Data Deletion

You can delete conversion learning with Reset Conversion Learning in the app's Customize tab. Deleting the app from your device removes all data it stored.

Policy Updates

We may update this policy when app features or legal requirements change. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
