Most Fossify apps are on F-Droid. They used to be known under the name “Simple Mobile Tools” and presented with orange app icons. The original author sold their brand/their userbase to an adware company, but the project lives on in form of this community-driven fork.
Ah. That is why the apps looked familiar. Was this fork quite recently? I still have the older apps installed.
The situation started here: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241
It ended there too I think, as far as tibbi was concerned. Iirc that was his only comment.
When he partnered with that shady company to release that shitty phone it was the start of the end.
The sale and fork happened in December 2023. So you probably want to switch at some point.
