I use Gboard, as I’m on Android.

Do you use Gboard or the clipboard feature? Or use a similar feature of an other keyboard app?
Do you use apps like NetGuard or TrackerControl to restrict net access to the keyboard apps?

Have tried some FOSS apps some years ago, but didn’t stay on them because, Malayalam(my mother tongue) and the handwriting mode(which is quite good), is not available in most other apps.

I had thought about turning on the clipboard history option and am thinking about the privacy/security aspect behind it. As per Gboard, it remembers history for 1 hour and there seems to be no sync option. So it seems sort-of safe. Thinking about such things since I do copy-paste OTP’s.

I use futo board. I like that it had the ability to process speech to text locally. I personally also disable the clipboard

Heliboard I believe, installed the google swiping .so, I believe you can set it to ignore saving inputs or forget them after a time. I like the customization options, I can have solarized dark everywhere including my phone.

I laugh that the app from my bank throws an error saying all third-party keyboards are malware & unsafe.

I use AnySoftKeyboard still since it has a ton of keyboards & features (tho autocorrect needs improvements).

Still using Swype, never liked how the other swiping keyboards felt. No clipboard history
