What is the Geez Keyboard?

The Geez Keyboard is a native keyboard layout for typing the Geez script — the writing system shared by Tigrinya, Amharic, Tigre, and Geez. Instead of copy-pasting letters from a chart, you type simple Latin-key combinations and the correct fidel character appears instantly. It works system-wide, so you can write in any app: Messages, Mail, Word, Pages, Chrome, Notes, WhatsApp, Telegram, and more.

Available for every device

  • macOS — install once, switch with a keyboard shortcut.
  • Windows — full system keyboard layout.
  • iOS / iPhone & iPad — adds the Tigrinya / Geez keyboard alongside English.
  • Android — works across all apps that accept text input.

Frequently asked

Does it work for Amharic too?

Yes. Tigrinya and Amharic both use the Geez script, so the same keyboard works for both.

Do I need to learn a new layout?

No. The Geez Keyboard uses intuitive Latin-key combinations that match how each fidel letter sounds.

Can I use it offline?

Yes. Once installed, the keyboard works fully offline — it is part of your operating system, not a web app.
