    Futo is Foss and offline. I switched to it recently from Swiftkey. Before that, apps would always restart if I switched windows or tabbed back to home screen and I assumed it was just my phone being lame. But since switching, that happens a lot less. So I can only assume futo is using less resources.

      They aren’t true foss, but ‘source available’. I don’t remember why exactly (probably for licensing or something) and the typical user won’t know what that means nor care, but it is something to be aware of.

      I like and use Grayjay, but the keyboard was not up to my standards, personally. Can’t find any foss/adjacent keyboards to come close to SwiftKey at all. I’ve been using it since release like 16+ years ago (?) or something, and every time I try something else, it’s just bad for a bunch of reasons.
