Questions.

Why does Glide ask for Full Access?

iOS puts key haptics, the Paste chip and the storage Glide shares with its app (learned words, settings) behind Full Access. Glide uses it for those and nothing else.

Does Glide send anything anywhere?

No. Glide makes no network connections. What it learns from your typing stays on your device and is deleted with the app.

Which languages does it support?

English and Hinglish (Hindi typed in English letters). Hinglish is on by default and can be turned off in the app.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes. iPad gets a 5-row layout with a number row, plus a phone-sized compact mode you can drag left, right or center.

Is it really free?

Yes. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.

Where can I get it?

On the App Store, for iPhone and iPad on iOS 16 or later.
