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 sale and fork happened in December 2023. So you probably want to switch at some point.
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.
