FAQ
Q: Why is the Probhat layout significant in this keyboard?

By using this layout, Unmukto ensures that users who are already familiar with this typing style can transition seamlessly, offering every necessary consonant, vowel sign, and diacritical mark across a logical two-layer system.
Q: How does Unmukto handle my personal data and privacy?
A: Privacy is the foundation of Unmukto’s design, as the application requests absolutely no Android permissions. This means it cannot access your contacts, storage, location, or any other sensitive data, ensuring that your typing habits and personal information remain entirely private and secure.
Q: Does the app require an internet connection to function?
A: No, the application has no network access whatsoever. Because it cannot connect to the internet, it is physically impossible for the keyboard to transmit anything you type to an external server, providing a high level of security for everything from private messages to passwords.
