About Flickboard
FlickBoard is a keyboard for Android that uses tap and flick input with fewer keys than a standard QWERTY layout. Tapping a key types the character in its center, while swiping toward a corner types the character shown there. It does not correct spelling, predict text, or use AI, and enters text as typed. Builds are available from Codeberg Releases without automatic updates, and it can also be built from source using USB debugging and the Android SDK.
