# Introducing Nibit and Making Android Typing Suck Less

Recently I’ve been working on my phone a lot more. It’s a combination of me trying to do more work when I’m out and about, touching grass, and a shift towards more and more of my work being agent assisted. Between the two, I find myself writing on my phone way more than I used to.

But here’s the thing – writing on my Android phone sucks. The keyboard is small, the dictation is clunky and transcripty, and the whole thing makes me want to go running back to my laptop with a full keyboard any time I need to write more than a quick response.

That’s why I built [Nibit](https://nibit.app/?utm_source=jonefox&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=launch). Nibit is a second keyboard for Android packed with snippets, transforms, smart dictation, and a bunch more. You can just use simple triggers like `",addr"` and have it expand into your full text snippet. You can quickly type `",."` and trigger the built-in smart dictation that uses AI assistance to clean up your ramblings, handle self correction (“Let’s meet Wednesday…no, wait, Friday” => “Let’s meet Friday”), and automatically remove all your fillers like um’s and uh’s.

You can also push things (text, links, files, screenshots) between your phone and laptop, fully E2E encrypted, without texting yourself links. This sounds small, but has been a huge time saver in my workflow. The files have a preset TTL, auto-delete, and I have a Raycast extension to paste or push them with a keyboard shortcut. If you’re also a Raycast user you can easily import your existing Snippets and Quick Links as well.

There are a bunch more features, but the punch line is a quick access way to streamline all your writing on your phone and make it faster, easier, and just a more pleasant experience. And the best part is it auto-switches back to your main keyboard (i.e. Gboard) so you don’t have to give anything up to use it.

You can check out the full feature set at [nibit.app](https://nibit.app/?utm_source=jonefox&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=launch) or get it directly from the [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.croutoncreations.nibit&referrer=utm_source%3Dnibit_website%26utm_medium%3Dwebsite%26utm_campaign%3Dlaunch).

If you do real work from your phone and have the same frustrations I did, give it a shot and tell me what you think.
