OpenBoard

OpenBoard is a free, open-source keyboard app built on AOSP that prioritizes your security and privacy. Unlike default keyboards that track your typing habits, this app keeps your data on your device where it belongs.

Customize your typing experience to match your needs and preferences. Split the keyboard into two sections for one-handed use, enable dictation mode for hands-free input, or adjust how the keys respond to your touch. The settings menu gives you complete control—swap between multiple color schemes and font styles to match your personal style. One standout feature automatically adjusts the keyboard's appearance to complement whichever app you're currently using, creating a cohesive visual experience across your device.

Smarter typing starts with advanced word prediction. As you use the keyboard, it learns your most common phrases and suggests them as you type. Instead of typing out full sentences, tap one of the predicted words shown at the top of the keyboard to complete your thought instantly. This feature saves time on repeated messages, emails, and everyday communication.

OpenBoard works as a direct replacement for your device's default keyboard. While it may not include every single feature of pre-installed keyboards (such as emoji support), it compensates with streamlined functionality focused on what matters most: fast, private, and customizable typing. The app is lightweight and runs smoothly on Android 4.4 and newer devices.

Choose OpenBoard when you want a keyboard that respects your privacy, adapts to your habits, and stays out of your way. This is typing without the overhead—no tracking, no bloat, just a clean, efficient keyboard that works the way you want it to.
