Minuum Keyboard Project

Your mobile typing just got easier. Minuum is a simplified keyboard that saves you screen space, and opens up unlimited new ways to type with wearable devices.

Simplified Touchscreen Typing

Minuum is a tiny, one-dimensional keyboard that frees up screen space while allowing fast, accurate typing.

Current technology assumes that sticking a full typewriter into a touchscreen device is the best way to enter text, giving us keyboards that are error-prone and cover up half the usable screen space (or more) on most smartphones and tablets.

Minuum, on the other hand, eliminates the visual clutter of archaic mobile keyboards by adapting the keyboard to a single dimension. What enables this minimalism is our specialized auto-correction algorithm that allows highly imprecise typing. This algorithm interprets in real time the difference between what you type and what you mean, getting it right even if you miss every single letter.

Recover more than half of the usable touchscreen space you lose when typing on traditional virtual keyboard.
