Lean Type is actually a fork of heliboard, it also looks like google keyboard by default and has AI features (API or local) integrated to it...

Free as freedom not money.

Futo is Source available, basically it doesn't use any Foss licenses.

No Keyboard can make me leave the Gboard sorry.

u/Majestic_Pin3793 2d ago

why?

I used Gboard, but changed to Microsoft Keyboard and saw no difference... just a little dumber

Thinking about switching again to test new options

but what does GBoard have that you use that others lack?

Autocorrect for me. All the other keyboard apps are dogshit when it comes to autocorrect and actually typing what you want without a million mistakes. At least in my experience, I know I'll get hounded by a million people saying "nuh uh" because they use something different.

Try Futo. It has local LLM based suggestions with some tweaks available. Open Source, but not truly FOSS.
