Are there any keyboards on f-droid that offer word prediction?

I always go back to SwiftKey (but didn’t update if since they announced AI stuff) because nothing comes close, but I would gladly change it to something FOSS.

@fri @Hirom HeliBoard is awesome, especially if you take a few minutes to change the settings to your liking

@fri @Hirom HeliBoard is FOSS, on F-Droid, does predictions, works offline, and is actively maintained.

If you want swiping, you’ll have to install a proprietary Google binary though. Basically download https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/46fdf2b550035ca69299ce312fa158e7ade36967/app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a (probably this version, although there are others for other less common processors) and add it in the HeliBoard settings.

Homepage is @
https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard (and it links to the page that contains that binary library, including other architecture versions).

@fri @Hirom
https://anysoftkeyboard.github.io is pretty great. Many languages, customized layout, word prediction, no data reporting.

Open board is unmaintained, heliboard is the fork, and has added some great features IMO.
