Three things you can check
No data collection
No telemetry, no analytics SDK, no "anonymous usage data". The only automatic network traffic is the update check.
Free
KeyVi is free and always will be. No feature is locked, and the app never nags you for donations.
Open-source engine
The Vietnamese typing engine is a Swift package under the MIT licence, written from scratch from Vietnamese spelling rules, with its own test suite. The rest of the app is open source too, under GPL-3.0-or-later.
What you will notice
- English words such as
text,userandwifistay as typed, even when you end the word with a comma, a full stop or Enter. - Slang such as dzô and hẹo types normally, because validity comes from spelling rules, not from a dictionary.
- When macOS blocks every input method (Secure Input), KeyVi tells you which app holds it and how to turn it off. It never guesses that you are typing a password.
- Tone marks at the end of a word still work:
vietj,tieengs,dangd. - It remembers Vietnamese or English per app: English in Terminal, Vietnamese in Zalo.
