I’m looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I’ve found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

    I use Gboard but with internet access disabled for it. I haven’t found a comparable open source keyboard yet.

      Same. Tried openboard again two weeks ago, but had to switch back. The predictions were just too bad

      I can’t do that on my side, perhaps because it’s a system app on my Pixel phone? Or do I need to be rooted for that?

        It isn’t a system app for my phone, so maybe. You could still use something like InviziblePro or RethinkDNS to disable its internet access without root though.
