Hey guys, im just got rid of gboard and im already missing the autocorrect and swipe to type features. I know there has to be a privacy friendly option out there. Thank you for your help; im fat fingering every other key, pls save me

    I really like heliboard. It works without network permissions, has autocorrect, and can do emojis

      Looks tempting but the repo has active issues going back 2 years without being resolved. I’ll still probably give it a go tho, seems a popular opinion, thanks

        I’ve been using it without major caveats since October last year. Even tried the proprietary swiping library you can install (it uses the Gboard one iirc, but OFC it can’t do shenanigans since it’s isolated by the app and not connected to the internet)
