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!

    Been using AnySoftKeyboard for many years now. Highly recommend it

      Yep, using the same. Very good for switching between languages, and a good selection of different keyboards for foreign languages. I use an English one, and a German one with the Umlauts as popups instead of a “complete” keyboard with the Umlauts as separate keys.

      Downside: Completion is not as smart as the default keyboard, but that is easily f-ed up anyway if you post/write in several languages, so while the completion is simpler, at least it uses the matching dictionary.
