What's new

Cells can now span the entire width of the keyguard, effectively slicing it in half.

Cells touching the outer edges of a keyguard are now interpreted as a cutout with rounded edges.

Keyguards for an iPad in a case now handle any corner radius. A very rounded corner used to stop the design rendering.

The case-fit step now shows the roundest corner your opening can take, and warns you when a measurement cannot be right, such as a size typed in centimetres instead of millimetres.

We overhauled our FAQ page. It is now 15 concise questions across five distinct sections, cutting out the clutter to cover exactly what you need to know.

The keyguards shown on our app pages are not mock-ups. They are rendered from the very model our workshop makes, shown at true size on the exact boards they were made for, right down to the camera cutouts.

Added interactive sliders to our app pages. Drag to compare an AAC board with and without its custom keyguard to see exactly where every opening sits.

We added dedicated compatibility pages for the 22 most common AAC apps and all 20 supported iPad models.

The 1:1 scale printable paper test now generates much faster.

Design warnings now display in the flat 2D view as well as the 3D preview.

The 2D design view now highlights and names each cell opening when you hover over it.

Every keyguard now automatically includes precise cutouts for your iPad's cameras and light sensors.

Added a live system status page.

Redesigned the packing slip included with your order for better clarity.

The warning note for mismatched screenshot dimensions now reads clearly for every specific iPad model.

The 2D view now shows the adhesive mounting pads and our logo, perfectly matching the 3D preview.

Mounting pads in the 3D preview now render as clean outlines so you can see exactly where they sit on your screen.

When you reorder a keyguard from your account, the design editor now correctly loads your original background screenshot so you can tweak the layout easily.

Added support for larger tablet sizes. If your screen previously exceeded our limits, you can now design a keyguard for it.

The 3D preview now includes all physical finishing touches — including our logo and mounting pads — giving you a truer picture of the final product.

We are now taking pre-orders. Keep an eye out for the banner across the top of the site.

Every keyguard is now engraved with a unique part number and barcode for instant traceability. If you ever need an exact replacement, we can pull up your board in a heartbeat.

Upgraded our AI detection engine. It is now faster, more environmentally friendly, and significantly better at identifying light-coloured buttons on light backgrounds.

Added built-in guides for taking the perfect screenshot on your device, alongside an option to record your screen directly from the app.

Prefer to build it yourself? You can now manually lay out a grid of cells from scratch instead of starting from a screenshot.

Added a duplicate tool. You can now copy a perfectly sized cell with a single click.

Improved detection accuracy for standard iPad home screens.

Prevented cells from overlapping themselves, resolving a bug that threw off some layouts.

All cell openings now feature a smooth, bevelled edge, making buttons easier to target and gentler on fingertips.

Streamlined the editor toolbar. 1:1 PDF proofs are now cached on our servers so they load instantly.

Introduced the Snap tool: automatically align your selections to the nearest button our AI has detected.

Rebuilt the mobile editor with a more compact layout, a dedicated tools menu, and a thumb-friendly selection bar.

Resolved minor editor issues including two-finger pinch zooming, selection clearing, and undo/redo history.

Added full support for protective cases. Tell us the size of your case opening, and we will size the keyguard to fit perfectly inside it, complete with a printable corner-radius gauge.

Rebuilt the manufacturing translation engine to ensure cell openings align with your layout even more precisely. We also lightened the 3D preview for better visibility.
