Fossify
github.com
A group of simple, open source apps without ads and unnecessary permissions, with customizable colors. A fork of @SimpleMobileTools. - Fossify

We all saw in the news that Simple Mobile Tools got acquired by ZipoApps and they started filling up the free apps with ads.

Luckily, being those apps open source, a new fork has been created.

It’s called Fossify. They forked all the apps on GitHub and they have a new maintainer.

Now we just need to wait for their first official release and then… we need to spread the word and make people switch from the old SMT apps to Fossify!

    The new owners OR f-droid, depending on whether they want to start adding badware or close-sourcing it.

          Correct. Meaning it can’t be turned proprietary because if they distribute copies, they must distribute the source code to everyone who gets them, under the GPL.
