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.

      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.
