Only when there is enough context.
Three or more completed words can qualify normally. A two-word burst wakes cleanup only when Idio can still prove something in the visible text is unresolved.
How it worksFix the typing.
Fix the typing.
Keep the thought.
Idio is built around text you already entered. It does not try to finish your sentence. It reconstructs recent intent in layers, from the fastest mechanical fix to a deliberate Clean Up.
Fast input
can yuo snd me teh adress when u get a sec
After Idiocan you send me the address when u get a sec
No prediction bar. No reply generation.Fix obvious slips immediately.
Once you finish a word, Idio can score the mechanical readings against the text, your optional personal error evidence and your optional touch evidence. When one reading is safely ahead, it repairs the word and shows exactly what changed.

If it is still dirty,
Auto Clean wakes up.
You should not have to press a button for normal cleanup. After a real pause, recent text Idio still owns can get a bounded on-device second pass on supported iPhones.
New typing cancels it.
The moment you keep typing, move the cursor or change the document, stale cleanup loses authority.
No-op is silent.
If the background pass finds nothing safe to apply, it gets out of the way instead of nagging you with a banner.
Later contextSometimes the next words
Sometimes the next words
solve the earlier one.
Idio can keep a bounded recent intent window in memory instead of forcing every decision at the first space. That lets a later word settle an earlier reading while the text is still owned by this keyboard session.
Moving the cursor, leaving the field or newer incompatible input ends that authority.
Why wait?
Safer than guessingAmbiguous text can remain unresolved until context supports one reading.
Retro alternativesWhen Idio should not mutate automatically, it can show bounded readings of what you already typed.
Still reversibleAny applied retrospective repair gets the same receipt and Undo.
Clean Up means:
“look again.”
Clean Up is not the normal correction path. It is the explicit button you tap when you look at the text and think Idio missed something.
Stronger second look.
Clean Up tells the on-device proofreader that the person explicitly thinks something may still be wrong, so it scrutinizes the selected recent context more carefully.
Your scope.
Choose 1 sentence, 2 sentences or Paragraph in Keyboard → Typing. Paragraph means Idio-owned text since the last line break. The full owned text still acts as the stale-document witness.
Still not a rewriter.
Clean Up may fix typing, spelling, capitalization, punctuation and basic grammar. It must preserve clean wording, slang, names, codes and your voice.
If Clean Up proposed something Idio could not validate safely, it says so. Only when the model says the text is unchanged and the deterministic fallback also finds nothing does Clean Up say “Nothing else to fix.”
Every applied change
has an escape hatch.
Receipt
Idio shows the word/span it changed instead of silently pretending the original never existed.
Undo / immediate Backspace
Restore the exact prior text. A verified rejection can also suppress that correction pair for the session.
Never Change
Your explicit protected spelling is a hard rule. Soft learning can never override it.
What Idio refuses to become.
No next-thought prediction.
No generated reply, prose continuation or generic next-word bar. Idio’s suggestions are retro readings of text you already typed.
No cloud typing inference.
Core correction is local. On supported iPhones, Apple’s Foundation Model is used on-device for bounded cleanup and Clean Up.
No unsafe stale edit.
A proposal is revalidated against the current document and cursor before Idio can mutate the field.
Type messy.
Keep going.
Let the fast path handle the obvious stuff. Let Auto Clean handle the connected mess. Use Clean Up only when you think something still slipped through.
