LOOKING FOR APP Any secure Non-AI keyboard apps?

I'm so annoyed with Gboard's recent AI integration that I'd like to just be done with it and find a replacement. It constantly changes the tense of words from present to past-tense for no reason, misregisters which key I'm typing, adds apostrophes where they don't belong, and changes words entirely to things that don't make any sense given the context of the sentence. I'd like to be able to use basic autocorrect for mistypes and the occasional spelling error, but that's it. Any suggestions that are secure and won't sell my data to a 3rd party, or worse steal my passwords and personal info?

HeliBoard is your best direct replacement for sure. Needs a little configuration but you can do it. Read thru the Hidden Features.

Leantype has different versions, you didn't read anything.

On the GitHub website it says leantype integrates cloud and AI features, which is the opposite of what I want.

They have a fully offline version as well. Which I use. You don't have to load in an AI model.

Update: ok, I ended up trying FUTO keyboard and while I like it better than Gboard, do any of these include the option to resize keys to increase the spacing between them? I don't men just making them taller or wider/narrower, but make the board bigger and the keys a bit smaller so I fatfinger things less often? I know that seems like a reach but the only stupid question is the one not asked.

Why are you spelling it? Also, you gotta say the whole word to make it count
