GLINTOS MINI-APP · TOOLS
Type with a swipe and a tap.
Practise here first.
A practice space for the joystick keyboard GlintOS uses on Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses. Type, correct and save three example fields with the temple touchpad.
What it is.
GlintOS types with a joystick keyboard: you move a highlight across the keys with swipes on the temple touchpad and tap to type. Notes and the fields on web pages use the same keyboard, so Keyboard is a quiet place to learn it first, on three saved fields: a multi-line Draft, an Email address and a Meeting title.
Type opens the keyboard with the saved text, Save stores your changes, and cancelling keeps the previous version. You meet each shortcut in context, and you can speak instead through your phone’s own speech recognizer. There is no account and no API key, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
What you get.
Every key within reach
The letters, 123 and #+= layers reach every printable ASCII character, plus the euro and degree signs. An Edit layer moves the cursor, and Undo keeps your last 32 edits.
Shortcuts that save swipes
Press Shift twice quickly for caps lock, or Space twice after a word in Draft for a period.
Word completion, offline
In Draft and Meeting title, a muted English word ending appears after two letters, from a bundled 8,000-word list. Email stays literal.
An emoji picker
It opens on your 18 most-used emoji, browses the Unicode Emoji 18.0 categories, and searches by name.
Speak instead
Tap Mic, speak, check the transcript, then insert it at the cursor as one edit you can undo.
Two ways to move
The default 4-way mode changes rows with up and down swipes. “Left / right only” reaches every key with forward and back alone.
On your glasses.
Saved preview
The field name and a counter, such as DRAFT · 42 / 2000, up to four lines of saved text, and Type, Field, Clear and Back.
Joystick keyboard
A three-line text field above four rows of keys. The bottom row holds the layer keys, Space, Enter in Draft, Mic and Save.
Voice input
Listening shows your words as you speak. Review shows the full transcript with Insert, Retry and Cancel.
Discard changes?
Shown when you cancel after editing. Keep typing returns to the keys; Discard keeps the original text.
How you control it.
| Swipe forward | Moves to the next button or key. In the text field, moves the cursor; at the end, accepts the word ending shown. |
|---|---|
| Swipe back | Moves to the previous button or key. In 4-way mode, up and down swipes change rows and reach the text field. |
| Tap | Presses the selected button or types the highlighted key. Field switches to the next example. |
| Long tap | On the app screen, goes Home, or starts the assistant if Long tap is set to Assistant. On a key, cancels the edit, asking first if the text changed. |
| Voice | Tap Mic and speak, tap again to review, then choose Insert. There are no spoken commands. |
Gestures come from the temple touchpad on Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses. An optional R08+ smart ring can send the same gestures from your finger.
Home and phone.
Under Apps > Keyboard, edit any field in a phone text box that saves automatically.
Edit on glasses opens the same field in the glasses keyboard. Phone editing is locked while it is open.
While you type on the glasses, the phone’s live preview offers a joystick pad.

These rows are about Keyboard. GlintOS itself also needs internet on the phone the first time it connects to your glasses and about once a month after that, when the glasses’ security certificate is renewed.
Set it up.
- Install GlintOS on an Android 11 or later phone and tap Pair glasses.
- Open Keyboard from the glasses Home dock, or tap Open on glasses under Apps > Keyboard.
- Optionally switch to “Left / right only” under Settings > Input.
- Choose Type, write a few words, then select Save on the bottom row.
- For voice, tap Mic and allow the microphone when the phone asks.
Your data.
- The fields stay in GlintOS’s private storage on your phone and out of Android cloud backup. GlintOS adds no encryption of its own.
- Nothing you type is sent anywhere, written to logs or learned into a personal dictionary.
- Voice goes to your phone’s speech provider, which may process it online. The microphone stops when the editor closes.
- Clear data under Apps > Keyboard > Manage deletes all three fields. Your emoji history, which GlintOS keeps for every keyboard, stays.
Good to know.
- GlintOS is an independent project in development, with the free public APK planned for December 2026. Keyboard has been tried in a simulator, not yet on real glasses.
- 4-way mode needs up and down swipes, which are unverified on real glasses. “Left / right only” needs just forward and back.
- Word completion is English only and finishes the current word; it never fixes spelling. There is no eye or head typing, and holding a key does not repeat it.
- Practice only: no email or calendar connection. Voice needs the glasses connected and worn, for up to 60 seconds.
Questions.
Can I type on Maverick AI smart glasses?
Yes, with GlintOS. Swipes on the temple touchpad move a highlight across the keys and a tap types. Notes and web page fields use the same keyboard.
Does Keyboard need an account, API key or internet?
No. Word completion and emoji are bundled, and no web service is called. Only optional voice input may go online.
Can I type with a smart ring?
Yes, an R08+ ring paired with your phone in touch mode. By default a slide up moves right, a slide down moves left, a tap types and a double tap deletes.
