Our history
It all began back in 2008 when our co-founders Jon Reynolds and Dr. Ben Medlock realized how slow and frustrating it was to type on touchscreens and put their heads together to solve this problem. Our first app launched on Android in 2010 and we arrived in the Apple App Store in 2014.
Our first app launched on Android in 2010 and we arrived in the Apple App Store in 2014. We've come a long way since then; today SwiftKey is featured on more than 300 million devices and we work with some of the world's leading smartphone manufacturers, who integrate our technology into their products. We have offices in London, San Francisco and Seoul, as well as people in India and China.
A huge thanks to our investors for supporting us along the journey!
