0-9
Full numeric keypad
0 through 9, a decimal point, backspace, and return — nothing shared with letters, nothing crammed.
Number keyboard for iPhone
Numbers deserve their own keyboard
NumPad Pro is a numeric keyboard app for iPhone and iPad that adds a dedicated number pad, a floating math operator row, and a symbol row to any app on iOS.
It swaps the fiddly ".?123" symbols page for a full-size number pad you can call up in any app — Notes, Messages, banking apps, spreadsheets, anywhere iOS lets you type.
Works fully offline — nothing you type is ever logged, stored, or sent anywhere
Inside the app
What NumPad Pro actually looks like
Three views: the keypad in light mode, the same keypad in dark mode, and the settings screen where you tune it to how you work.
Why is the default iPhone keyboard bad for typing numbers?
Every price, PIN, score, and phone number gets typed through a keyboard designed for words. That means one extra tap to reach ".?123", tiny digit keys crammed into a letter-sized layout, and a second trip to find a math symbol.

The complete guide to numeric keyboards on iPhone
Straight answers to the questions people actually search before switching keyboards.
Does the iPhone have a built-in number pad keyboard?
No — iOS does not ship a dedicated number-pad keyboard. The stock keyboard only exposes digits through the ".?123" symbols page, where they share space with punctuation and take up roughly a third of the layout. There is no setting that opens straight to a full numeric keypad, which is the gap apps like NumPad Pro were built to close.
How do I add a numeric keyboard to my iPhone?
Install a numeric keyboard app from the App Store, then go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards, and tap "Add New Keyboard…" to select it. Once it's added, you switch to it from any text field by tapping and holding the globe icon on your keyboard and choosing it from the list — the same way you'd switch to any other language or third-party keyboard.
What is the fastest way to type numbers on iPhone?
A dedicated numeric keyboard app is faster than the default keyboard for any number-heavy task, because it removes the step of switching to the symbols page and gives every digit a full-size key. NumPad Pro adds a floating operator row and symbol column on top of that, so math symbols and common characters like @ and % never require a second screen either.
Is a third-party keyboard safe to use for banking and passwords?
It depends entirely on the specific app's privacy practices, since third-party keyboards can technically run in any text field on your phone. NumPad Pro's App Store privacy disclosure states it does not collect any data: it works fully offline, includes no analytics or third-party trackers, and has no server that could see what you type.
What does "Allow Full Access" mean for a keyboard app?
Full Access is an iOS permission that lets a third-party keyboard use certain system features, such as haptic feedback, that Apple restricts by default. It does not automatically mean a keyboard sends data anywhere — that depends on what the specific developer does with it. In NumPad Pro, Full Access is used only to enable haptics on key presses, and the keypad works without it if you'd rather leave it off.
Can a custom keyboard replace the default one everywhere on iPhone?
Yes — once added in Settings, a third-party keyboard becomes available system-wide, in every app that accepts text input. NumPad Pro works this way in Notes, Messages, Mail, Safari, Numbers, Excel, Google Sheets, banking apps, and any form field, exactly like the default keyboard does, with a tap of the globe key to switch between them.
What's the difference between a numeric keypad app and the number row on a regular keyboard?
A numeric keypad app replaces the entire keyboard with large, dedicated digit keys, while a "number row" is just a thin strip of small digits above the letters on some keyboard layouts. NumPad Pro goes further than either: it gives every digit a full-size key plus a dedicated operator row for math symbols, instead of squeezing numbers in alongside letters.
Does using a third-party keyboard drain battery or slow down an iPhone?
A lightweight keyboard app has no meaningful impact on battery life or speed, since it only runs while you're actively typing. According to NumPad Pro's App Store listing, it runs no background processes, uses no analytics, and makes no network calls, so there's nothing extra running once you switch away from it.
How do I switch back to the default iPhone keyboard?
Tap and hold the globe key on NumPad Pro and choose the stock keyboard from the list, or tap the globe once to cycle. NumPad Pro never replaces your default keyboard permanently — it sits alongside it, so you can jump back to letters the moment you need them.
Does NumPad Pro work on iPad and in landscape?
Yes. NumPad Pro supports iPhone and iPad, and it adjusts its layout to the screen. Once the keyboard is added in Settings, it is available in any app that accepts text input, in portrait or landscape, the same way the system keyboard is.
Quick questions
Is NumPad Pro free?
Yes. NumPad Pro is free to download and use, with an optional one-time Lifetime Unlock in-app purchase priced in your local currency on the App Store.
Does NumPad Pro work on iPad?
Yes. NumPad Pro supports both iPhone and iPad, and adjusts its layout to fit the screen.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. NumPad Pro runs entirely offline — there's no server involved in typing, so it works exactly the same with Wi-Fi, cellular data, or neither.
Can I turn off the key click sounds?
Yes. Key click sounds are optional and can be toggled on or off at any time from within the app.
What iOS version do I need?
NumPad Pro requires iOS 17.0 or later on iPhone, and iPadOS 17.0 or later on iPad.
Can I disable haptics and key click sounds separately?
Yes. Haptic feedback and key click sounds are independent toggles inside the app, so you can turn either one on or off without affecting the other.
Will NumPad Pro work with autofill or a password manager?
Yes. Per Apple's keyboard extension framework, third-party keyboards handle autofill and password-manager suggestions the same way the system keyboard does, and NumPad Pro follows that standard behavior.
Does using NumPad Pro drain my battery?
No. According to NumPad Pro's App Store listing, it runs no background processes, uses no analytics, and makes no network calls, so it has no meaningful effect on battery life beyond the moments you're actively typing.
Nothing you type ever leaves your phone
Keyboards see more than almost any other app on your phone — every password, every message, every number. NumPad Pro's App Store privacy disclosure is as short as it gets: data not collected.
No logging, storing, or transmitting of anything you type
Works fully offline — no server sees your keystrokes
No analytics and no third-party trackers
Full Access is optional and used only for haptics
Your last mistyped number was the last one
Add NumPad Pro once, and every price, PIN, and score gets typed on a keyboard built for exactly that — not squeezed out of one built for words.
