Ezhuthola Application
Type Malayalam the way you text: in Manglish. Type ente keralam and get എന്റെ കേരളം.
Ezhuthola (എഴുത്തോല, the palm-leaf manuscript) is a free, open-source Malayalam keyboard. It asks for no permissions at all, not even internet, so nothing you type ever leaves your phone. No ads, no accounts, no tracking.
