Hello, could someone recommended a keyboard for android that is a bit smart in predictive typing? I used to like swiftkeybefore it was bought by microsoft. Not that swiftkey itself was much better but I was not so privy conscious at that time.

I recall swiftkey would require access to your texts and emails to train itself to your predictions.

Is there some similar foss keyboard where all the data then remains local?

I know swiftkey has an incognito mode, but then it stops learning from your typing.

I use a openboard + native library for flow typing. I was long time gboard user but open board is now best for me. https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

Read the first entry under Features on the GitHub page.

I ctrl+fed "native" and "features" and got nothing. What am I missing?

I did not found it because it is needed to switch to "new" branch. The installation of the library is not trivial (adb and such), so I ended installing AnySoftKeyboard. Thanks for your help.
