FUTO just launched their privacy focused keyboard app. I know there have been quite a few posts about keyboard recommendations, so this might be worth checking out if you’re not happy with your current one.

    Been a while since I tried open board, florisboard, or anything else but I remember they didn’t have one of a few mandatory features (for me):

    • adjustable height
    • number row
    • long-press layer
    • Swype typing

    This has them all. Plus an awesome voice transcription using Whisper.

    It’s free to try (they ask to pay $10 for a lifetime license but you can use it without paying, though you shouldn’t). It has no internet connectivity. Give it a go.

      Just FYI, Heliboard (continuation of OpenBoard) has all of the above. Just note that you’ll need to import Google’s Swype library once to use Swipe-To-Type.

        I’d say the main benefit Futo has over Heliboard is that it has native swype typing with its own model (and also own voice typing model).

        Still a bit light on customisation (certainly compared to Heliboard), but a nice first release certainly.
