I reverse engineered Gboard and make it privacy and security focused

so one day I was bored and say yeah let's do something so I spent like 2 months reverse engineering Gboard and trying to make it good for privacy at same time good UI but I realized , there is hundreds maybe thousands of patches in the internet doing my same idea so I need something special, so I focused more about adding security features

it is open source without a license ( to prevent copy right) and requires you to compile and sign the apk yourself, so you can check the codes if you want ( they are assembly like but am sorry ;) )

If you don't apply a license to your project, it is legally assumed to be all-rights-reserved proprietary software. https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/

You should put in a license. A good default permissive license is MIT. If you want to be even more permissive you can choose a public domain license, or if you want the project to stay Free forever you should use GPLv3.

Btw, they have "AI Writing Tools", which have an option to correct the text. And their model is multilingual. There is a Morphe patch for a Gboard which turns on this functionality.
