NodeLogic Keyboard.
An on-screen keyboard for Android televisions, built for the remote: you move with the arrows, type with the middle button, and it needs no Google services.
It has no network access.
A keyboard sees everything you type: searches, addresses, passwords. So the claim that matters is not a privacy promise but an impossibility: this keyboard declares no internet permission, so the system will not let it open a connection. It is not that it does not send: it cannot.
And anyone can check: the manifest travels inside the installer, and anyone can open it and confirm the permission is not there. We do not ask for trust in something you can see for yourself.
Typing on a television.
Four rows of ten
A layout you cross quickly with the D-pad, with the digits above the letters and two pages of symbols.
Portuguese and English
Two languages, with accents on a long press of the base letter. You switch language by holding down the space bar.
Two themes and its own settings
The look changes in the app's own settings screen, without leaving for the system settings.
What it does not do.
It does not suggest words
There is no dictionary and no text prediction. The top bar shows the word you have already typed and, in an address field, suffixes such as .com.
No dictation, no emoji
Dictation does not exist, and the microphone is not even requested. Neither are emoji.
Two languages, not dozens
European Portuguese and English. No others.
It is for television
Android 5.0 or newer, tested on Android 11. It carries no native libraries, so it runs on any processor. It was designed for the remote: on a phone it would make no sense.
Built on other people's work.
The engine is a fork of LeanKeyboard, by Yurii L, published under the MIT licence. What we made is the key layout, the themes, the two languages and the settings screen. The original copyright notices and licence text remain where they were, and travel with whatever we distribute.
The layout was recreated by hand from what you see on an ordinary television keyboard. No file, icon or line of code from another app went into this project.
