MessagEase decided to go subscription-based, here's some alternatives

1. flickboard

   1 2 132 9.6 Kotlin

   Discontinued Flicking keyboard for Android

   After also running into issues with thumb-key (primarily: the quite primitive gesture recognition) I ended up starting a rewrite of my own.[0] It's still very far from the polish of MessagEase or even thumb-key, but it is getting to the point where I can mostly daily-drive it, and it does already support U and O gestures.

5. Unexpected-Keyboard

6. multiling-o-esbr

   5 2 3 5.2

   My custom configuration files for the Multiling-o keyboard. Based on Kasnerz version and hopefully adapted to Spanish and Portuguese

   

   I'm also interested in this. MessageAse was my daily driver keyboard until some bugs appeared, then I switched to Multiling O (here's my messagease inspired layout https://github.com/racuna/multiling-o-esbr ) but is also abandoned with not fixed bugs.

   Now I'm using thumb-key as my daily keyboard but waiting for them to add more features, or just jump to another keyboard app.
