Editor's Overview

Urik Keyboard is a keyboard & ime application developed by Urik Development, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.2 weighing in at 25.41 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 25.41 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Urik Development" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Urik Keyboard free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Urik Keyboard require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Urik Keyboard safe to install?

How do I update Urik Keyboard?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).
