Fix the wrong keyboard layout — in English, Russian & Ukrainian

Typed a whole sentence and realized the layout was wrong — руддщ instead of hello, or Ghbdsn instead of Привіт? TypeSwitcher converts it back in any direction. Free, private and native, on Mac and Windows.

Loved by people who type in two layouts every day

Languages

Built for English, Russian & Ukrainian

If you switch between Latin and Cyrillic keyboards every day, you know the pain. TypeSwitcher fixes text typed in the wrong layout across all three languages — in any direction — without retyping a single word.

🇬🇧

English

руддщ → hello. Recover Latin text typed while a Cyrillic layout was active.

🇺🇦

Ukrainian

Ghbdsn → Привіт. First-class Ukrainian support, including the unique і, ї, є and ґ.

🇷🇺

Russian

ghbdtn → привет. Convert Russian text back when the English layout was on.

Conversion works in both directions between every supported layout.

Privacy

Your keystrokes never leave your computer

A layout switcher can read everything you type — passwords, messages, card numbers. TypeSwitcher processes all of it locally: no cloud, no account, no telemetry, no typing log. That is the whole point.

100% local

Layout detection and correction run entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, ever.

No telemetry

No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no usage tracking. The only network request is the update check.

No typing diary

No keystroke log, no clipboard history. Undo history lives in memory and is discarded automatically.

Installation

Up and running in a minute

Download, drag to Applications, grant two permissions — done. TypeSwitcher lives in the menu bar and stays out of your way.

    On macOS, drag the TypeSwitcher icon into the Applications folder.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is TypeSwitcher free?
Yes. TypeSwitcher is completely free — no ads, no paid tier and no upsell.
Which languages and layouts are supported?
English, Russian and Ukrainian. TypeSwitcher converts text typed in the wrong layout in any direction — for example руддщ back to hello, or Ghbdsn back to Привіт. Ukrainian is a first-class language, not an afterthought.
Does TypeSwitcher work on both Mac and Windows?
Yes. TypeSwitcher runs natively on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and on Windows, with automatic updates on both.
Is TypeSwitcher an alternative to Caramba Switcher and Punto Switcher?
Yes. Like Caramba Switcher and Punto Switcher, TypeSwitcher fixes text typed in the wrong keyboard layout — but it runs entirely on your device, adds first-class Ukrainian support and is completely free.
Does TypeSwitcher send my keystrokes anywhere?
No. TypeSwitcher works 100% locally. There is no account, no telemetry and no cloud — what you type never leaves your device.
Why does it need Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions?
macOS requires those permissions before any app can read selected text and replace it. TypeSwitcher uses them only for layout conversion, and everything stays on your Mac.
