About CleverKeys
CleverKeys is an open-source gesture keyboard featuring a custom neural network engine, unlimited clipboard history, and extensive customization. Unlike other open-source keyboards, gesture typing works reliably everywhere — including Termux and terminal emulators. RELIABLE GESTURE TYPING IN TERMUX CleverKeys is the only open-source keyboard with stable, production-ready gesture typing that works in Termux. Other keyboards either disable gestures in terminals, produce corrupted output, or remain in alpha/experimental state. CleverKeys works everywhere — terminal emulators, SSH sessions, and developer tools.
