  @fri @Hirom HeliBoard is FOSS, on F-Droid, does predictions, works offline, and is actively maintained.

  If you want swiping, you'll have to install a proprietary Google binary though. Basically download https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/46fdf2b550035ca69299ce312fa158e7ade36967/app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a (probably this version, although there are others for other less common processors) and add it in the HeliBoard settings.

  Homepage is @
  https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard (and it links to the page that contains that binary library, including other architecture versions).

  @fri @Hirom HeliBoard is awesome, especially if you take a few minutes to change the settings to your liking

  @fri I'm using AnySoftKeyboard. Took me a bit of getting used to and I'm probably still less efficient than I used to be, but it doesn't send what I type to remote servers to train AIs on. @Hirom

  @fri @Hirom
  https://anysoftkeyboard.github.io is pretty great. Many languages, customized layout, word prediction, no data reporting.

    Open board is unmaintained, heliboard is the fork, and has added some great features IMO.
