Hi friends. My quest to remove Google products from my life continues.

I’ve always been very fearful of swapping keyboard apps. I can think of no better way to track someone than to bug their keyboard. How can I trust any keyboard software, really? My wishlist:

  • Something that addresses my privacy concerns
  • Supports both english and portuguese dictionaries at the same time
  • Has a dark theme
  • Is available on some sort of store, so I don’t have to download APKs for every single update

Thanks!

    Lots of mentions of OpenBoard here. There is a fork that is under development now, and I am writing this with it now. It is not on F-Droid yet.

    FlorisBoard and AnySoft are good, but each has enough annoyances that I come back to OpenBoard, which has its own annoyances, but for me are a bit less annoying.

      I’m getting frustrated with OpenBoard

      1. Underscore is only accessible with the symbols button.
      2. After tapping on a wrong word and tapping on a different suggested word, I often end up with an extra space.
      3. No emoji search 😟
