HeliBoard is a privacy-focused Android keyboard based on OpenBoard/AOSP.
Unlike many mainstream keyboards, HeliBoard works entirely offline by default, making it a solid alternative to Gboard or SwiftKey for users who want more control over their data.

it’s my back up, as in what my wife uses when typing on my phone… it’s great
for myself I prefer flickboard, same deal for privacy and such, just a different style of keyb
this looks like exactly my kind of bullshit lmao I love customizations that make my phone utterly unusabe to anyone but me
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Judge my vow, sphinx of black quartz
Fun. I geninely could get used to this. I’ve used HeliBoard for a long time, but I may make a permanent switch
I was looking for a swipe keyboard that wasn’t google for my graphine phone. After not finding one I saw flickboard. Was on the fence, was it going to be hard to use? I installed it and crossed my fingers.
I would call it the modern solution of T9 typing. I can type with one hand not even looking at my screen and be fairly confident in what I type. The only thing I wish it had was dictionary support.
Absolutely, dictionary support would be awesome.
For me, I love that it’s not the main standard. I love the look my wife gives me when she tries to use my phone and totally fails hahahaha… and I specially love my daughter’s awe at how fast this old fart can type
I tried it because I got tired of making so many mistakes in the standard keyboards… loved it since
My wife too gets very annoyed about my keyboard and she isn’t even trying to use it.
I have found that my typo rate is far lower as the key presses are more deliberate. But I am still quick with typing so that deliberate movement isn’t much of a hinderance.
