Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: AnySoftKeyboard is appreciated for its open-source nature, privacy features, and variety of configurations, such as swipe and theme options. Users commend its suitability as a privacy-conscious alternative to default keyboards, especially for those with de-googled phones. However, there are criticisms regarding its GUI, user-friendliness, and dictionary accuracy, with some finding its layout cumbersome and menus disorganized.

Variety of themes, sizes, and config options (like vibrate on touch on/off). Great open-source alternative to stock keyboards which may spy on you.

Has a lot of features. Settings GUI is GARBAGE and incredibly hard to navigate. Don't even bother though because the only English keyboard with symbol hints has a comma in place of the L key for no reason. Thanks for nothing you absolute idiots.

It's very customizable and open-source. I use it for years now.

I was won over by this keyboard right from the start. Open source and particularly respectful of data, I found the layout perfect ...

In particular, the change of keyboard and the left and right keys for navigating through text. In short, from the ergonomics to the layout of the main keys, right through to the special characters and the theme (which I found improved legibility)....

It's a shame it hasn't been maintained since 2021.

Far from perfect, this app needs work, particularly in the UI department, but it's probably the 2nd best privacy-conscious, FOSS mobile keyboard that you can be fairly confident isn't sending everthing you type to the powers that should not be. That said, I have come to prefer FUTO, which is much easier and better for most people.

Difficult to get used to the change between letters and symbols. I came from using KeySwift and now I switched to OpenBoard (very cool).

I encourage you to do your own research about it ! Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !

Liberate your Android

This is a list of Alternative and Open Source Android Apps and OS I could recommend because I use most of them since November 2013 under Paranoid Android with a Nexus 5. Most of these apps are available via F-Droid. And when alternative don't exist and/or it not available via F-Droid, Aptoide and/or anothers repos; I use https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ to extract the apk from Google Play.
