I have been using MessagEase for a pretty long while now and it was a great choice for polyglots like me because I could handle all my 11 languages on one keyboard. Unfortunately Thumbkey doesn’t have that on the fly flexibility yet. Options like ad hoc adding letters and a compose key and combining diacritics are vital for me. Happy to help to implement this, otherwise I might even fork and rework if I find the energy…

When this works properly I will happily switch from apk to paid Google Play and I am happy to sponsor this. I just need an open source option to work for me. Happier to pay a lot more for open source to do this than feeding a company that WILL fail at some point.

About

Thumb-Key is a privacy-conscious smart keyboard, made specifically for your thumbs.

It features a 3x3 grid layout, as many older phones had, and uses swipes for the less common letters. Initial testing shows that you can reach ~25 words per minute after a day of use.

Instead of relying on profit-driven, privacy-offending word and sentence prediction for accuracy, as do most popular phone keyboards like Gboard and Swiftkey, Thumb-Key uses large keys with predictable positions, to prevent your eyes from hunting and pecking for letters.

As the key positions get ingrained into your muscle memory, eventually you’ll be able to appromixate the fast speeds of touch-typing, your eyes never having to leave the text edit area.

This project is a follow-up to the now unmaintained (and closed-source) MessageEase Keyboard, which is its main inspiration.
