a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard based on AOSP/OpenBoard.\n\nThis fork adds **AI-powered features** using the Gemini API while maintaining the offline-first philosophy of the original.\n\n## What's New in HeliboardL\n\n- **🤖 Gemini AI Proofreading** - Fix grammar and spelling with one tap (Standard only)\n- **🌐 AI Translation** - Translate selected text directly (Standard only)\n- **🎨 Modern UI** - \"Squircle\" key backgrounds and refined icons (incognito, etc.)\n- **🕵️ Clear Incognito Mode** - Distinct \"Hat \u0026 Glasses\" icon for clear visibility\n- **🔒 Privacy Choices** - Choose **Standard** (Offline-first with opt-in AI) or **Offline** (Hard-disabled network) versions\n- **📥 Gesture Library Downloader** - Easier setup for glide typing\n\n## Screenshots\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"docs/images/Screenshot1.png\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Screenshot 1\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"docs/images/Screenshot2.png\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Screenshot 2\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"docs/images/Screenshot3.png\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Screenshot 3\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"docs/images/Screenshot4.png\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Screenshot 4\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"docs/images/Screenshot5.png\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Screenshot 5\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"docs/images/Screenshot6.png\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Screenshot 6\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\n\n## Download\n\nYou can download the latest release from the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/LeanBitLab/HeliboardL/releases) page.\n\n### 📦 Choose Your Version\n\nWe provide two distinct versions. **Note:** Both versions use the same package name (`helium314.keyboard.l`) and signature. You can only have **one** installed at a time.\n\n#### 1. Standard Version (`-standard-release.apk`)\n*   **Features:** Full suite including **AI Proofreading**, **AI Translation**, and **Gesture Library Downloader**.\n*   **Permissions:** Request `INTERNET` permission (used *only* when you explicitly use AI features or download libraries).\n*   **Best For:** Users who want smart features alongside privacy.\n\n#### 2. Offline Version (`-offline-release.apk`)\n*   **Features:** All UI/UX refinements (Squircle keys, new Icons) but **excludes** all AI and network features.\n*   **Permissions:** **NO INTERNET PERMISSION** in the manifest. Guaranteed at the OS level.\n*   **Best For:** Privacy purists who require a hard guarantee that no data can ever leave the device.\n\n## Original HeliBoard Features\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd dictionaries for suggestions and spell check\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCustomize keyboard themes (style, colors and background image)\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCustomize keyboard layouts\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMultilingual typing\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGlide typing (\u003ci\u003erequires closed source library\u003c/i\u003e)\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClipboard history\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-handed mode\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSplit keyboard\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber pad\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup and restore settings\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\nFor original feature documentation, visit the [HeliBoard Wiki](https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki).\n\n## Setup\n\n### Gemini API Key (for AI features)\n1. Get your free API key from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey)\n2. Go to HeliboardL Settings → Advanced → Gemini API Key\n3. Enter your API key\n4. Change Gemini model to **gemini-2.5-flash** or **gemini-3n-e2b-it** for best performance.\n\n### AI Translation Setup\n1.  Go to Settings → Toolbar → Customize Toolbar and add the \"Translate\" key.\n2.  Go to **Settings → Advanced → Translation Target Language** and select your desired output language.\n\n\u003e [!IMPORTANT]\n\u003e **Privacy Notice**: While HeliboardL itself is open-source and respects your privacy, using the **free tier** of the Google Gemini API means your input data may be used by Google to improve their models.\n\u003e - Using AI features is **optional**.\n\u003e - **Do not process sensitive information** (passwords, credit card numbers, private addresses) using the AI Proofreading or Translation features.\n\u003e - The **Offline Version** completely removes this code and permission.\n\n### Gesture/Glide Typing\n**Standard Version:** Use the built-in downloader in Settings → Advanced → Load Gesture Typing Library.\n\n**Offline Version:**\nSince network access is disabled, you must manually install the library:\n1.  Download the library file: [libjni_latinimegoogle.so](https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/blob/master/app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libjni_latinimegoogle.so) (for arm64)\n2.  Go to Settings → Advanced → Load Gesture Typing Library.\n3.  Select \"Load from file\" and pick the downloaded `.so` file.\n\n## Contributing\n\nFor issues specific to HeliboardL features, please open an issue in this repository.\n\nFor issues with core HeliBoard functionality, please report to the [original HeliBoard repository](https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/issues).\n\n## License\n\nHeliboardL (as a fork of HeliBoard/OpenBoard) is licensed under **GNU General Public License v3.0**.\n\nSee [LICENSE](/LICENSE) file.\n\n## Credits\n\n### Original Projects\n- **[HeliBoard](https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard)** by Helium314 - The excellent keyboard this fork is based on\n- [OpenBoard](https://github.com/openboard-team/openboard)\n- [AOSP Keyboard](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/)\n- Original icon by [Fabian OvrWrt](https://github.com/FabianOvrWrt)\n\n### HeliboardL\n- Built with ❤️ by [LeanBitLab](https://github.com/LeanBitLab)\n\n---\n\n*HeliboardL • Privacy-focused keyboard with AI enhancements*\n","funding_links":["https://liberapay.com/Helium314"],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fleanbitlab%2Fheliboardl","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fleanbitlab%2Fheliboardl","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fleanbitlab%2Fheliboardl/lists"}
