Long notes on a real keyboard, with folders and bold, lists and headings from a glass bar.

with the iPhone look.
The Clicks Communicator brings a proper keyboard back to Android. Glass OS is a home screen built for exactly that kind of phone: liquid glass to look at, and a keyboard that does everything.
Why Glass OS fits the Clicks Communicator
↗ Made for a screen above keys
Glass OS is laid out for a near square screen over a keyboard, the same shape as the Clicks Communicator's 4 inch display, rather than a tall touchscreen phone.
↗ Type instead of tap
Type an app's name and press Enter to open it. A dash adds a to-do, an exclamation mark a note, a star an event and an @ a message.
↗ Messages in one place
The Hub collects WhatsApp, Messages, email and calls into one list with a floating glass tab bar, and you reply on the keys.
↗ Ready for Android 16 and up
The Clicks Communicator ships with a current version of Android, and Glass OS runs on anything from Android 13 onwards.
Glass OS and the Clicks Communicator's keyboard
The keyboard is the reason to buy a Clicks Communicator, and Glass OS gives it plenty to do. On the Home Screen every key starts a search. Start with a symbol and the same line adds a to-do, a note or an event, so there's no need to open an app for quick things.
Messages are the other half. The Hub collects WhatsApp, Messages, email and the rest into one list you reply to on the keys, a lot like the old BlackBerry Hub. There's more on that on the BlackBerry Hub alternative page.
Until your Clicks Communicator arrives, Glass OS runs on any Android 13 phone, touchscreen phones included, and the same purchase moves across with you.
Details of the phone are on Clicks' site.
Home Screen
A glass Home Screen that gives the Clicks Communicator something beautiful above its keys.
↗ Depth clock
Make the screen worth looking at
Pick a wallpaper and the time goes behind it, the way the iPhone lock screen does. Use one of the built-in pictures or a photo of your own.
↗ Widgets
Your day above the keyboard
Weather, music, events, to-dos and notes sit in glass bubbles beside the clock. Tap one to open it up for the full detail, then carry on typing.
↗ Your apps
Apps sorted your way
Group apps into folders, choose your dock, hide what you never use and give the lot a new icon pack.
The Hub
WhatsApp, texts and email meet in one place, which suits a phone built around messaging.
↗ The Hub
One inbox for everything
The Clicks Communicator is built for messaging, and the Hub is where messages land. Texts, WhatsApp, email and calls in one list, sorted into tabs, with a picture on every card.
↗ Liquid glass
A glass home screen for the Clicks Communicator
Glass OS draws real liquid glass over your wallpaper. The dock, the cards and the tab bars bend whatever passes under them, which is a lot of colour for a phone that's half keyboard.
Type to do anything
Every press of a Clicks key starts a search, a note or a timer from the Home Screen.
↗ Typing
Search with the keys
Every key on the Clicks Communicator starts a search on the Home Screen. Type a name and press Enter to open the app, or start with a symbol to set a timer, an alarm, a to-do or a note.
- @ Message
- # Call
- - To-do
- ! Note
- * Event
- + Timer
- : Alarm
- ? Ask
Notes, to-dos and events, built in
Three apps made for typing, which is what the Clicks Communicator is for. See every feature on the Glass OS home page.
To-do
A quick list for the day, added to from the Home Screen in a few keystrokes.
Events
The calendars already on your phone, in a month or a list.
Make it yours
Set the Clicks Communicator up in a few taps, from the wallpaper to every icon.
↗ Settings
Simple settings, no digging
Everything you'd want to change on the Clicks Communicator sits on one page: dark or light, true or classic glass, the wallpaper, the clock and your icons. No menus inside menus.
↗ Icon packs
Make the icons match your style
Glass OS works with icon packs from the Play Store, so the Clicks Communicator can look minimal, colourful or anything in between. Swap a single icon by holding it.

No. One purchase covers every phone you own, so you can use it now on your current Android phone and move it across later.

Not on a Clicks Communicator?
