The standard iOS keyboard makes me typo too much, not to mention changing the words after I’ve typed them and moved on.

Can anyone recommend me an iOS keyboard that:

  • has good swipe typing
  • doesn’t connect to the internet
  • doesn’t try to outsmart me
  • has a decent dark mode / is themeable
  • has multi language support

Thank you very much.
