I’m looking to replace gboard and I have spent about a decade using gesture based typing. Is there any alternative that is private that gesture based typing actually work on?

Futo Keyboard has built in Swype functionality.
Heliboard also has it, but I believe you do have to download Google’s swype libraries to use the functionality. Whether that affects privacy, I don’t know.
Edit: (See calm.like.a.bomb’s comment below)
It doesn’t. Heliboard doesn’t use network connections at all.
And if it weren’t like that, we can also block connections with NetGuard ;)
FUTO keyboard is great but Swype typing is bad, to say the least. Not contradicting you, just adding context. It is classified as “pre-Alpha” by the devs.
Awesome. I will give these two a go. Appreciate it!
How do I get the gboard Swype library I can’t find the tiny download Button. Helio that is
Try this page. You have to go in to the folder that corresponds to your device, the above link takes you to the Arm chipset code which should be good for a mobile android device. You should see the raw button in the right hand corner, and the download button should be near it as well. If you’re on mobile, tap the three dots and the download button should show up in the menu.
Perfect thank you!
