About HeliBoard

HeliBoard — Open Source Productivity App

GPL-3.0-only
HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline. Features:
  • Add dictionaries for suggestions and spell check
    • build your own, or get them here, or in the experimental section (quality may vary)
    • additional dictionaries for emojis or scientific symbols can be used to provide suggestions (similar to "emoji search")
    • note that for Korean layouts, suggestions only work using this dictionary, the tools in the dictionary repository are not able to create working dictionaries
  • Customize keyboard themes (style, colors and background image)
    • can follow the system's day/night setting on Android 10+ (and on some versions of Android 9)
    • can follow dynamic colors for Android 12+
  • Customize keyboard layouts (only available when disabling use system languages)
  • Customize special layouts, like symbols, number, or functional key layout
  • Multilingual typing
  • Glide typing (only with closed source library ☹️)

    • can be extracted from GApps packages ("swypelibs"), or downloaded here (click on the file and then "raw" or the tiny download button)

  • One-handed mode
  • Split keyboard (only available if the screen is large enough)
