The keyboard is distributed as a signed APK on GitHub. Installing it takes about a minute.
- Download the APK on your phone: opensolr-keys.apk, the latest release.
- Allow the install. Android asks once whether your browser may install apps. Allow it for this install.
- Open Opensolr Keys and follow Enabling and choosing it: the two buttons at the top of the app take you to the right places in Android.
01 · What it needs
- Android 8.0 or newer.
- One permission: vibration, for the optional tap feedback. It asks for nothing else, and it has no internet permission at all.
- No account, Opensolr or other. Nothing to sign in to.
02 · Uninstalling
Uninstalling removes the keyboard. Your settings and the words you kept as typed are part of your phone’s app backup, so a later install on the same Google account gets them back. See Updates for how a newer version is installed.
