Typewise

I just discovered this kinda cool keyboard that claimed to be private. They have two versions of it, a free one and a paid one. They claimed that their keyboard works 100% offline (talk about that later) and having no suspicious permissions. They have a honneycomb layout (and a normal one) and propose a tutorial and a game to help improving your typing faster with this new of a kind layout.

Matomo

Remember they claimed to be 100% offline, well it's true only for the paid app, I can understand why but I don't like the way they promote this feature. For the free tier you'll need internet access (well it can always being blocked from NetGuard or Daruda Firewall (CalyxOS). However when you read the privacy policy of the free app you learn why they use your internet connection and what data they transfer. NO TYPING DATA, their trackers (Appsflyer and Matomo) are here to send basic and "anonymous" data to improve the tutorial, game and settings. Those are turned off by paying for the premium app. They claimed that the keyboard itself is not tracked. They are also claiming not selling personal information.
