Our Design Philosophy

• We are intentionally different.

• TT9 is not a clone of legacy software or modern QWERTY-based keyboards.

• We prioritize a distraction-free environment, which means we do not support—and will not implement—swipe-typing, GIFs, or sticker integration.

• We are committed to refining the classic 12-key experience rather than mimicking the feature sets of other apps.

Get Involved

• TT9 is a community-driven project.

• We thrive on your feedback and contributions to make the experience better for everyone.

FAQ

Q: Can I use TT9 on a device that doesn't have a physical keypad?

A: Absolutely. TT9 is built to work seamlessly on both physical hardware keypads and modern touchscreens. If you are using a touchscreen device, the keyboard will provide a digital 12-key layout, allowing you to enjoy the efficiency of classic T9 typing on your smartphone or even through a TV remote interface.

Q: Is my privacy protected when using TT9?

A: Privacy is at the core of our development philosophy. TT9 does not track your keystrokes, monitor your behavior, or collect any telemetry data. Because the app is open-source, the community can verify that your data remains strictly on your device and is never sent to external servers.

Q: Does TT9 require an internet connection to work?

A: The full version of TT9 is designed to function entirely offline, ensuring that your typing remains private and accessible regardless of your connectivity status. The Lite version only requires an internet connection when you need to download initial dictionary files; once those are installed, the app no longer needs to go online.
