I am searching for an alternative to the standard gboard. So far I found Fossify Keyboard, which was OK, but felt off somehow. I think it was the Fach, that it did not support a full Herman layout. Now I am testing Futo Keyboard. So far it is okay, but still not great. Are there and other options I should try? Also futo supports local ai models, but offers little support for German language. Is it also possible to run it with other ai models that are not in the Homepage? And are there and I could try?

I like Heliboard for the swiping aspect also. I just want to add that to enable it I had to download the Google swipe engine and add it after installing the app. I'm not the biggest idiot on this planet and I managed. So it's doable. Works with German too.

I don't want to use anything Google if I can help it, so I'm using the FOTO keyboard which has its own swipe engine.

It's... Work in progress. But the keyboard overall is pretty good.

I looked at them too. I opted for Heliboard because FOTO's management made the news last year or maybe '24. I don't remember the details but it was enough to overcome the Google hurdle for me.
