Thumb-Key is a privacy-conscious Android keyboard app designed for efficient one-handed thumb typing, inspired by MessagEase. It is a Kotlin-based Android application with multiple layouts, slide gestures, clipboard history, and support for many languages.
Use cases
- replace Google keyboard with a privacy-friendly alternative on Android
- type faster with one hand using a thumb-optimized layout
- use a keyboard without internet permissions or tracking
- type in multiple languages on Android
- use swipe gestures and clipboard history while typing
When to choose
- you want an open-source, privacy-respecting Android keyboard
- you prefer MessagEase-style thumb typing over QWERTY
- you need a keyboard that works fully offline
- you want customizable layouts and gestures
When to avoid
- you need a full QWERTY layout with autocorrect like Gboard
- you rely on cloud-based prediction or voice typing
- you are not on Android
