Maliit is an input method framework for computers with particular focus on implementing virtual keyboards. Designed mostly for touchscreen devices, Maliit allows the inputting of text without the presence of a physical keyboard. More advanced features such as word correction and prediction are also available.

Originating as part of MeeGo,[6] Maliit is free software licensed under LGPL. Maliit ships as a standard component of LG webOS,[7] Plasma Mobile,[8] SailfishOS,[9] LuneOS,[10][11] and Ubuntu Touch.[12]
