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!

    Although Swype has been dead for quite a while now, that keyboard has been the best for swipe texting I’ve ever found. I tried Gboard, sucks. OpenBoard doesn’t have swipe functionality (that I’ve found), and am using AnySoft right now, with minimal success. I have to keep backspacing to retype words, or manually type them, sometimes my swipes don’t register into words, its just really annoying.

    I wish someone would rebuild Swype so i could go back to it.

    Edit: someone mentioned an OpenBoard fork that enables swipe texting and it’s great! So, if you’re looking for swipe, that’s my reco
