I’m looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I’ve found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

    I use Gboard but with internet access disabled for it. I haven’t found a comparable open source keyboard yet.

      Same. Tried openboard again two weeks ago, but had to switch back. The predictions were just too bad

      I can’t do that on my side, perhaps because it’s a system app on my Pixel phone? Or do I need to be rooted for that?

        It isn’t a system app for my phone, so maybe. You could still use something like InviziblePro or RethinkDNS to disable its internet access without root though.

        Gboard isn’t open source, which is why I disable internet access for it.
