Bosun Support

Open Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → Bosun. Then tap Bosun in that list and turn on Allow Full Access. Open the Bosun app once and the setup checkmarks turn green by themselves.

iOS requires it for a keyboard to reach the internet (translation) and read text you copy (the 📋 key). Typing, emoji, and dictation all work without it. Bosun stores nothing you type — see the privacy policy.

Bosun translates using your own Anthropic account. Create a key at console.anthropic.com, paste it into the Bosun app under “Type in a different language,” and it’s stored in your device’s Keychain — never sent to us.

Two ways. Strip: tap the bar above the keys, type in your language, tap ➤ — only the translation enters the chat. Draft flip: dictate or type in the message box, then tap ➤ (or → EN) to flip what’s already there, in place.

Long-press their message → Copy → tap 📋 on the Bosun keyboard. The translation appears in a pane above the keys. It’s never typed into the chat, and drag the bar to make the pane bigger.

Use the system dictation mic at the bottom-right of the keyboard area. Apple does not allow third-party keyboards to use the microphone — that rule applies to every keyboard on iOS — so Bosun pairs with Apple’s mic and translates what you said.

In the Bosun app, set I speak as and I’m writing to. Languages like Russian and Spanish change word forms based on who’s speaking and who’s being addressed, and these settings make your messages grammatically right.

Make sure you’re on the latest version — this was fixed in an early build. If it happens again, note the app and message length and email us; that detail is what makes it fixable.
