SwiftFloris is a privacy keyboard for Android, forked from FlorisBoard. The pitch fits in one sentence: it has no network access, and everything it learns stays in files you control.
v1.9.56 wrapped a security pass that I'd rather over-explain than have anyone take on faith. Clipboard backup exports are now encrypted. Extension writes are transactional, so a bad payload can't leave you half-updated, and unsafe payloads get quarantined instead of loaded. Extensions that want network access get rejected outright. Clipboard history ingestion is bounded so nothing can balloon it. And the trust claims in the docs are now gated on what the code demonstrably does, not on what I intended it to do.
Dictionary imports are local files only, by design, and that will not change. A keyboard that can phone home isn't a privacy keyboard, it's a keylogger with a settings page.
If you type on it daily, the thread next to this one asks the question I care about most right now: which layouts and dictionaries you actually need. Bugs go in Issues. Security findings go through the Security tab privately, please, not as public issues.
