FlickBoard

Discord

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?

Get it on IzzyOnDroid Get it on Google Play

The latest release builds are also available from GitHub Releases, but I recommend downloading from one of the above instead to get automatic updates.

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

$ ./gradlew installPlainDebug

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.
