Alternatives to gboard with gesture/swype style typing? - Lemmy.World

I’m looking to replace gboard and I have spent about a decade using gesture based typing. Is there any alternative that is private that gesture based typing actually work on?

Futo Keyboard has built in Swype functionality.

Heliboard also has it, but I believe you do have to download googles libraries to use the functionality. Whether that affects privacy, I don’t know.

FUTO Keyboard

FUTO Keyboard is a modern, privacy-focused keyboard that runs fully offline. Enjoy swipe typing, autocorrect, predictive text, and more—no internet connection required.

It doesn’t. Heliboard doesn’t use network connections at all.

And if it weren’t like that, we can also block connections with NetGuard ;)
