FUTO just launched their privacy focused keyboard app. I know there have been quite a few posts about keyboard recommendations, so this might be worth checking out if you’re not happy with your current one.

It’s also on FDroid and available via Obtainium/Github
Actually, it doesn’t seem to be there https://search.f-droid.org/?q=futo&lang=en
IDK about obtanium, but IIUC the sources are on their gitlab instance https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/latinime
You have to add the FUTO repo https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo/
If you’re adding another repo, it’s not vetted by fdroid.
Yea I’d prefer to wait until it’s on fdroid proper
It can’t be included in the official F-Droid repos, as it is not Open Source.
It’s hardly better than any other proprietary software as the FUTO Temporary License does not allow users to make modifications and share them with non-programmers. They could include ads or spyware and no one would be allowed to strip that out and share the result with others.
They also clearly forbid redistribution “directed towards […] monetary compensation”. But F-Droid has to be compensated for their server costs as well, and they ask for donations as they should be. That’s why limiting commercial redistribution alone is a huge issue that would keep it from ever being called “Open Source” or “Free Software”.
It’s not open source it’s source available, it won’t ever be on fdroid main repository
