Editor's Overview

DuressKeyboardLite is a emergency action application developed by F-Droid Open Source, packaged as a single Android APK of version 13.0 weighing in at 141.04 KB. 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 141.04 KB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "F-Droid Open Source" — 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.

About this app

Safe and fast keyboard with the DuressPassword feature.

Duress Password — a phone data reset code, configurable in this app, that you enter via this keyboard instead of your ordinary password on the lock screen and send by tapping the Enter arrow (⏎) if you unlock the phone against your will.

For this feature to work, you must set this keyboard as default and your phone must not be Chinese/Realme/Oppo in order to support its use in password input fields.

This app is a simplified version of DuressKeyboard with reduced functionality, but improved new Android compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DuressKeyboardLite 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 DuressKeyboardLite require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is DuressKeyboardLite safe to install?

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).
