Typewise is a Swiss technology company best known for its Typewise Keyboard, a mobile keyboard app designed to improve typing accuracy and protect user privacy. The keyboard introduces a honeycomb (hexagonal) key layout intended to reduce typos and finger strain on touchscreens. It is available for smartphones running iOS and Android and supports multiple languages and keyboard layouts.

The Typewise Keyboard emphasizes privacy by design, processing keystrokes primarily on the device and offering configurable options to minimize data sharing. It provides autocorrect, predictive text, and gesture input, along with themes and layout customization. Users can enable or disable cloud-based features and data backups, depending on their preferences.

Typewise originated as a Swiss startup focused on privacy-conscious input technology. Since its launch, it has attracted attention for its distinctive layout and privacy-centric approach, earning users who seek alternatives to conventional keyboards, though the hexagonal layout may require an initial learning period.
