A keyboard with a sense of humor

Sarcastic

Transform text as you type—sPoNgEbOb, tiny caps, reversed, and stranger—without sending the joke anywhere.

For people who want a silly, useful text tool that stays fast, local, and out of their data.

Current availability

The Linux IBus engine, settings app, and CLI work from source on X11 and XWayland. Other platforms and a signed release channel are absent.

Standalone

A smaller path from intent to outcome.

  1. 01

    Transform while typing

    Use the effect in ordinary applications through the input method.

  2. 02

    Pick the exact flavor

    Eight deterministic or randomized modes cover more than one recurring joke.

  3. 03

    Stay entirely offline

    Real input-path tests verify that the keyboard does not need the network.

What is real now—and what still has to be earned.

The badge names this product’s place in the portfolio, not public availability. This record separates working parts from missing product proof.

In the code today

  • Eight deterministic or randomized transformation modes
  • A Linux IBus engine, settings app, and command-line tool
  • No-network and real GTK input-path tests

Before broader release

  • A public signed release channel
  • Native adapters for additional desktop and mobile platforms

Sarcastic is Argand’s playful standalone product—small, private, and intentionally useful without an account.
