I'm looking to replace gboard and I have spent about a decade using gesture based typing. Is there any alternative that is private that gesture based typing actually work on?

I tried two browsers and couldn't find the tiny download button. Finally, I figured it out. Follow the link from the Heliboard page, I'm using a Pixel so I opened arm64-v8a, tap the file and "view raw" should be visible. Tapping this should bring up a download window. Go into Heliboard > settings > advanced > load gesture typing library.

paradox2011 actually linked right to it. I'm using same phone as you. Thank you all the same. Im liking it OK so far but the swiping isn't as good as gboard but I'm sure it will learn.
