Looking for an alternative Keyboard app - Lemmy.world

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!

I use Thumb-Key, which is available both in the Play Store and F-Droid. The layout is pretty unusual but I really like it, and the main developer (one of Lemmy’s creators) really cares about privacy.

I’ve been trying out Thumb-Key for a few minutes, and wow, that would take a while to get used to.

This comment was written with Thumb-Key in just 3 minutes!

Haha yeah, it did take 2-3 days for me to get up to speed with it, it does not work like a typical keyboard at all.
