A Rime-based iPhone keyboard separates local typing from optional online services
The reader’s brief
Read this as a developer account, not an independent review. The maker says its bundled keyboard can type without Full Access, while shared app data and imported schemes require it. Apple’s archived documentation explains that open access enables both networking and a shared container. Direct requests to a chosen provider can still disclose text to that provider. ThreadEast compared the source, maker documentation and Apple/Rime references; it did not install the app, reproduce performance results or audit traffic. The October 27 timestamp records collection, not a new release. Use the accompanying practical guide to test a scheme and identify enabled online features.
Hare’s developer describes a Rime-based iOS keyboard with configurable input schemes. The published privacy policy distinguishes ordinary on-device conversion from downloads, cloud-folder sync and optional requests to a user-selected online service.
Context: SSPAI carries a developer-authored introduction dated October 20, observed by ThreadEast on October 27. The current source headline differs from the recorded listing description.
