History

Founded in 2011 as a mobile keyboard for the visually impaired, Fleksy has evolved into being the fastest keyboard available on iOS and Android thanks to clever gesture typing and powerful autocorrect.

In July 2017, the Barcelona-based company Thingthing took over the development of Fleksy with the ambition to build a seamless user experience on the keyboard. The new team behind Fleksy is now focused on making the keyboard even faster by integrating apps and extensions directly within the keyboard to boost productivity and make typing an effortless task.

In October 2018, Fleksy successfully secures $815,119 from 446 investors via its equity crowdfunding campaign allowing them to grow the team and develop new products.

Following the funding in April 2019, Fleksy launches its own app store called the Fleksyapp store integrating apps directly within the keyboard, letting users access their favorite apps right from the convenience of their keyboard without ever having to leave the messaging app they’re using.

In June 2020, Fleksy reveals its keyboard SDK offering allowing companies, organizations, and developers to integrate Fleksy’s proprietary technologies into third-party apps. Developers are also able to customize the look and feel of the keyboard and make use of Fleksy's auto-correction & next-word prediction engine, smart gestures, and 80+ languages.

In October 2020, Fleksy launches the first art marketplace for a keyboard with artists from all over the world. By splitting the revenue made, the marketplace enables artists to be present in front of end-users every time they type and, where end-users can enjoy a truly unique look and feel by supporting Art.

In August 2021, Fleksy successfully secures $1,6 million from leading VC Inveready's Deep Tech Fund to further fuel the B2B growth of Fleksy's SDK business.
