Skey is a local tool for importing documents and question banks, searching and reading your materials, and accessing them through a custom Chinese keyboard. We care about your privacy and aim to keep your materials and keyboard input on your device and under your control.
Skey does not require an account and does not collect your name, phone number, email address, device identifiers, location, imported documents, question bank content, keyboard input, or search history for transmission to the developer.
Skey does not upload your materials, extracted text, search indexes, selected text, or keyboard input to a developer-operated server. Document processing, indexing, searching, reading, and Chinese input conversion happen on your device.
Skey does not include advertising, cross-app tracking, third-party analytics, or telemetry.
When you choose files to import, Skey accesses the files you select to extract text and create a local searchable library.
Skey stores extracted text, questions, answers, document names, import dates, and search indexes on your device. The current version does not retain the original imported PDF files.
When you export a question bank template, Skey saves it to the location you choose through the system file interface.
Skey’s custom keyboard uses a bundled Rime input engine to convert Chinese pinyin locally. User learning and input logging are disabled.
Basic typing and material search work without a network connection and without enabling “Allow Full Access.”
Full Access is used only to enable keyboard vibration. Enabling it does not cause the keyboard to upload your input, access a developer-operated server, or record what you type.
The keyboard uses an App Group container to read the search index and keyboard layout settings published by the main app. The keyboard accesses these shared files in read-only mode.
You can disable Full Access or remove the Skey keyboard at any time in iOS Settings.
Skey does not automatically read the system clipboard.
When you manually paste text into the main app to create a document, Skey processes and stores the text locally as part of your library.
