Pros

  • Heliboard (Best Privacy focused Keyboard app according to me)
  • FUTO Keyboard / HeliBoard (FOSS Keyboard Alternative): ... If you want a keyboard with a pin-locked/private clipboard drawer built-in, try open-source keyboards that prioritize local privacy and let you manually clear or exclude sensitiv...
  • Well, i am using leantype which is a fork of heliboard. It is extremely feature rich and predictions are good enough
  • Most of the heavy lifting was already done by the Heliboard team. I am just using their base and making my own personalizations.
  • I like HeliBoard. It's extremely customisable. My favourite customisable part is you can make autocorrect more or less aggressive. And it has the best swipe text/gesture typing of the ones I've tried.

Cons

  • Leantype and heliboard doesn't fit perfectly on my size
  • Heliboard. It doesn't have voice typing and you need to use googles library for swipe typing (manually downloaded and loaded into the app) but they are working on their own implementation
  • I find Futo Keyboard better than Heliboard. Heliboard UI is very basic.
  • i didn't found heli board and futo nice
  • I cycle between FUTO and Heliboard. They're both lacking in different ways but they're the two best outside of big company apps
