Afaan

Type your language, the way you speak it.

Afaan keyboards make typing Ethiopian languages on Android fast and natural, with whole-word suggestions that learn as you go. What you type never leaves your phone.

Planned

Your typing stays yours

A keyboard sees everything you type, so we built Afaan around one rule: typed text never leaves your phone.

Suggestions work offline

Words are matched on your phone. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Learning stays local

Words the keyboard learns stay on your phone. Nothing is learned in password, email or web-address fields.

No ads, no tracking

No analytics, no crash-reporting tools, no ad networks.

Accounts are optional

Sign in only if you want a backup of your own words. Deleting your account removes everything we hold.
