A Korean keyboard with fewer, bigger keys
A standard Korean keyboard crams 21 vowels onto a phone. Danmoum keeps only the eight simple vowels and builds the rest by pressing them together — ㅏ + ㅏ = ㅑ. The result is a layout with room to breathe, keys that are easier to hit, and typing that stays fast with one hand.
Hangul has eight vowels that can't be split any further. Everything else — ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅘ, ㅙ… — is made from them. Danmoum puts just those eight on the keyboard, so the 14 consonants and 8 vowels fit in three roomy rows alongside Shift and Backspace.
Repeating a vowel gives its y-sound. Adding ㅣ gives the ㅐ/ㅔ family. The usual compound vowels (ㅘ, ㅝ, ㅢ…) work just as they do on a standard keyboard.
Press a consonant for 0.3 seconds and it turns into its double. The fastest way once it's in your fingers.
Tap the same consonant twice in a row — ㄱ ㄱ becomes ㄲ.
Tap ⇧ first, then the consonant — just like a standard Korean keyboard.
In the middle of a word, tapping ㄱ twice can't make ㄲ — the first ㄱ is already taken as the previous syllable's final consonant, so 아까 becomes 악가.
When that happens a small pill appears above the keyboard. Tap it to fix the word, or just keep typing and it quietly goes away. Over 100 everyday words are covered.
Pick the same suggestion twice and Danmoum remembers it — next time the fix is applied first, with an undo pill in case you meant otherwise.
Turn on grammar check and pressing Enter first takes a look at the line you just wrote. If something needs fixing, the corrected sentence appears with [As typed] · [Corrected] · [Edit] — only the changed letters are highlighted.
On devices with Apple Intelligence it reads what you meant and fixes spelling and spacing together; elsewhere it falls back to iOS's spell checker. Either way, nothing leaves your iPhone.
It never makes you wait: if there's nothing to fix, Enter goes through on its own. Off by default.
Swipe left or right on the space bar to switch between Korean and English. The corner of the space bar shows which one you're in.
Press and hold the space bar, then drag to move the cursor in any direction — like the iOS keyboard.
Keep a finger on 123, tap a number or symbol, let go — you're back on Hangul automatically. A plain tap stays on numbers.
Deletes a whole word at once. And in number-only fields, the number pad opens first on its own.
Open the app to find settings grouped into six sections, each with a short explanation. Changes take effect the next time the keyboard appears.
Get 단모음키보드럭럭고 from the App Store and open it once.
Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard… → choose 단모음키보드럭럭고.
In any app, tap the 🌐 globe key to switch keyboards. Try ㅇ ㅏ ㅏ — you'll get 야.
