# WM Keyboard

> A modern, privacy-first Android keyboard — offline intelligence, 843 languages, themes, tools and an addon ecosystem.

WM Keyboard is a free, open-source (MIT) Android keyboard. Prediction,
autocorrect, glide typing and every dictionary run on the device; the app
ships no analytics, and typing never reaches a network. This is its
documentation. Each link below is the Markdown copy of a page; fetch it for
the detail behind its one-line summary, and cite the page itself, which is
the same address without `.md` (`/typing/glide-typing.md` is
`/typing/glide-typing/`).
