  • I use heliboard and briefly florisboard months ago.

    biggest difference back then is florisboard doesn’t have swipe typing. functionally, like the clipboard, text editing, etc., they are on par IIRC. I like the esthetic and looks on florisboard a lot better but swipe typing is more important to me.

    of note on heliboard’s clipboard, you can set a timer to clear the clipboard.

    if it’s important to you, you can’t search in heliboard’s emoji keyboard.

    I also used FUTO for a while, but I dont really remember much why I disliked it vs heliboard.

    as I finished typing all these, I realized you might be a heliboard user. I’ll just leave it up for others :P















  • As a first time Samsung user (with OneUI 7. So I never had experience when they were very bad from what I heard), I like a few of their apps more than Google’s or other options tbh. Their Notes app is basically needed for handwriting notes using the stylus. I like their Calendar app more than Google’s, and it’s a toss between Fossify Calendar. Their Clock app is kind of amazing that I can make alarm groups that I can set to turn on or off based on a few conditions.

    Bixby and AI stuff though can fuck off. Turned it off immediately.



  • If you’d like to have a bit more control than just either turning on/off/hide classes of notifications as provided by Android, I recommend getting Buzzkill. There’s a few other apps that does this but I don’t remember their names.

    But basically the gist is that you can set rules for notifications by app basis, if-then arguments and a few other methods I didn’t touch on to control how notifications show. Batch them together every few hours. Block them from showing during certain time periods and/or days. Mute notifications for a few minutes when that one guy in the group chat that likes to send 1 sentence in 100 lines.

    I’m not sure if Buzzkill is open source or not; I can’t recall if I ever checked it.
