Tessera Keyboard is designed for Android users, mobile power users, privacy-conscious individuals, and typing enthusiasts looking for an ergonomic and high-speed alternative to traditional QWERTY layouts.

About Tessera Keyboard

Tessera Keyboard is a 3×3 gesture keyboard for Android inspired by MessagEase. Designed as an alternative to QWERTY layouts, it uses a grid-and-swipe system: tap for common letters and swipe for other characters.

Key features include swipe controls for select all, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, cursor movement, and find-and-replace with regular-expression support; customizable key actions, swipe directions, and layouts; and more than 20 themes. The keyboard also offers clipboard history, custom shorthand macros, one-handed mode, and input support for more than 22 languages, including Chinese Pinyin. Typing is processed on the device; internet access is used for Google Play licensing and premium features. Basic typing features are free, with optional one-time premium purchases.

    "Smooth transition from MessagEase"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2026-10-29

    Pros: Same layout as MessagEase keyboard. Smooth transition from a 10-year MessagEase veteran. Easy on-boarding tutorial. One-time (lifetime) unlock for all features. No annoying ads or subscriptions

    Cons: Lack of dictionary, but the devs said it is coming soon

    Overall: Easily the best alternative to MessagEase. It has almost all the features of MessagEase, plus many more unique ones
