FlickBoard

FlickBoard is a flicking-style keyboard, in the style of MessagEase and Thumb-Key.

Type the letters in the center of a key by tapping it. Type the keys in the corners by swiping in that direction. That's it!

How do I install it?

Release builds are available from GitHub Releases.

You can also build it yourself, by running the following on a computer that is connected to your phone:

$ ./gradlew installDebug

This requires the phone to have USB debugging enabled, and your computer to have the Android SDK installed.

Why not MessagEase?

It's proprietary, and is currently threatening everyone's existing installations unless they subscribe.

Why not Thumb-Key?

Thumb-Key intentionally doesn't support some gestures that MessagEase supports.
