Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

I went with FUTO Keyboard. It's the only keyboard that ticks all my boxes to replace GBoard so far.

I wish the swiping predictions were a bit better though.

FUTO keyboard is proprietary.

It is not. FUTO calls it "source first" which just means "open source but with rules against bad actors". Certainly far from proprietary.

It is not open source, because it does not meet the definition of open source.
