I’ve been using SwiftKey since before the Microsoft acquisition, but now I want to move on because it’s pushing copilot.

What do you recommend? I’m fine with the play store or F-droid, and I’ll pay for a good one if necessary

    HeliBoard has been my chosen SwiftKey replacement: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

    Features I value:

    • Multilingual typing (as someone who writes EN, PT and dabbles on DE and NL daily, having to check which language I’m on and switch keyboards/layouts every time sucks)
    • Glide typing (with optional closed source library)
    • Clipboard history
    • Comprehensive layout customization
    • Autocorrect (with customizable level of confidence)
    • Emoji selection and history

    It does suck to see an app that I loved and paid for (yes, I used it for THAT long) get enshittified and try push AI* down my throat.

    Not to mention M$ owning my typing history (which I kinda could live with).

    RIP SwiftKey.
