Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative? (lemmy.ml)

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?

SwiftKey Keyboard. There are OS keyboards and even swipe predictive text keyboards but I wish there was one that had the skinability and functionality that learned from my typing without monitoring my clipboard and reporting it to Microsoft. Yet every other keyboard I have tried has left me disappointed.

I just want a foss keyboard with gif support.

I would like one with GIF and Meme support as well. I can live without it though, but it would be nice to have!
