How it works

You type in the wrong keyboard layout and RightLayout corrects it instantly using on-device AI (CoreML).

ghbdtn  →  привет
руддщ   →  hello  
akuo    →  שלום

No hotkeys. No notifications. Just correct text.

Features

Works invisibly
No popups, no interruptions. Corrections happen as you type.

AI-powered language detection
A CoreML model trained on real multilingual typing data detects wrong-layout text with high accuracy.

Learns you
Undo a correction twice — RightLayout remembers. It adapts to your writing style.

Stays private
Everything runs on your Mac. Nothing leaves your device. Ever.

Multilingual keyboard support
Supports English, Russian, and Hebrew layouts with extensible architecture for adding more languages.

Looking for Maintainers

This project needs new maintainers. If you're interested in macOS development, keyboard input handling, or CoreML-based language detection, this is a great project to take on.

What a maintainer would do:

• Triage and respond to issues
• Review and merge pull requests
• Cut new releases
• Extend language support (German, French, Arabic, etc.)

If you're interested, open an issue titled "Maintainer interest" and describe your background. There are no gatekeepers — if you ship good PRs, you get commit access.
