Stroke Input Method (筆畫輸入法)
Many thanks to @MattHoward-GH (GitHub) for commenting.
It is a minimalist implementation with the following features:
* Good character support (over 28k characters) including vernacular Cantonese
* User preference for traditional or simplified characters
* No ads
* No permissions
* No tracking or telemetry
* Deterministic candidate generation which doesn't learn user input
After installing the app, launch and follow the prompts to enable Stroke Input Method in your system settings. There will be a default warning shown — this is normal.
