Hey guys, im just got rid of gboard and im already missing the autocorrect and swipe to type features. I know there has to be a privacy friendly option out there. Thank you for your help; im fat fingering every other key, pls save me
Heliboard would be my recommendation. Been using it for more than a year now. Started using it when OpenBoard was basically dead in the water and it was merely a fork rather than its own thing and I can safely say it’s the best privacy friendly keyboard I’ve used. Tried so many, FUTO, FlorisBoard but I found Heliboard to be the best. If you want Swipe-to-type features then you can download a proprietary library from the github of Heliboard iirc and load it in the settings of Heliboard.
Oh and did I mention it’s very customizable? Oh yeah. I think you’ll love it, give it a try :D
Heliboard is decent
Florisboard is also amazing. One of a very few that dont actually track what you type. The other one i know of with no tracking is anysoftkeyboard.
FUTO Keyboard is hands down the best option.
If you have philosophical objections to the FUTO license, then your options are Heliboard and Florisboard. Heliboard is currently better, but Florisboard has promise.
I’ve been trying it but the swipe to text is absolutely atrocious I spend 90% of my time going back and correcting.
FUTO: the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
… I was planning on testing them all here but that’s so good I’ll think I’ll stop there! I see from recent reviews they are working on improving swipe even more :D thank you so much!
Giving this a try myself. Interesting that it’s in the Play Store but not F-Droid.
If you are exploring, I’d suggest giving Unexpected Keyboard a try. You might like it even though there is no autocorrect.
