Description

HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard.
Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.

Features:


• Add dictionaries for suggestions and spell check


• build your own, or get them here, or in the experimental section (quality may vary)

• additional dictionaries for emojis or scientific symbols can be used to provide suggestions (similar to "emoji search")

• note that for Korean layouts, suggestions only work using this dictionary, the tools in the dictionary repository are not able to create working dictionaries



• Customize keyboard themes (style, colors and background image)


• can follow the system's day/night setting on Android 10+ (and on some versions of Android 9)

• can follow dynamic colors for Android 12+



• Customize keyboard layouts (only available when disabling use system languages)

• Customize special layouts, like symbols, number, or functional key layout

• Multilingual typing

• Glide typing (only with closed source library ☹️)


• library not included in the app, as there is no compatible open source library available

• can be extracted from GApps packages ("swypelibs"), or downloaded here (click on the file and then "raw" or the tiny download button)



• Clipboard history

• One-handed mode

• Split keyboard (only available if the screen is large enough)

• Number pad

• Backup and restore your settings and learned word / history data
