AquaSKK is a Japanese input method editor (IME) designed for macOS, providing seamless support for SKK (Simple Kana Kanji conversion) input styles. It offers a lightweight and highly customizable alternative to standard system IMEs, allowing users to switch between Kana and Romaji input modes efficiently. The tool integrates deeply with macOS to ensure low-latency input and robust character conversion.
Key Features:
  • Supports both Kana and Romaji input styles
  • Highly configurable via dictionary files
  • Lightweight and native macOS integration
  • Open-source and actively maintained
