In case you missed it: Fossify (A fork of Simple Mobile Tools)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10796117

Fossify Gallery (fork of Simple Gallery), Fossify File Manager (fork of Simple File Manager) and Fossify Calendar (fork of Simple Calendar) are now available for download on F-Droid.

(Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an Israeli adware company)

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we're here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.

Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

Hm, I cannot find it on fdroid. Do I have to wait a bit or what do I do?
- You can add IzzyOnDroid repo on F-Droid or use Droid-ify entirely for out-of-box solution.
  
  Oh nice! Really useful, thanks a lot :)
- Which one? I saw calendar yesterday.
Ooooh including the keyboard?? I'd really like that.
- https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Keyboard It's there in the org, not sure when it gets released to F-droid, but I think they're just going 1 by 1, so hopefully shouldn't be long.
  
  Meanwhile use florisboard it's really good
This is great. Thank you for sharing
I have been using them and Gallery was a bit buggy at the beginning, so that is the only one I have not switched yet but otherwise, they are all working as expected. I expect to fully switch shortly.
- What are you using for gallery? Do you have something that easily moves stuff between folders etc.?
