Fossify

A suite of open-source, ad-free apps with customizable colors - Fossify

I’ve been browsing f-droid when I noticed a bunch of apps like “Fossify calendar” that looked similar to apps starting with “Simple” - simple gallery, simple file manager, etc. I wanted to understand more on what are the ties and apparently, simple mobile tools are no good

So does someone know if Fossify are legit? Page looks iffy but code seems to be just forks.
Anyone has some info on them?

    Bit of context, the simple apps were sold to a large Corp who put a bunch of adds and tracking in (later cut down by my understanding) so people forked the projects and continued maintenance under fossify

      Exactly, that’s the community fork of SimpleMobileTools. However there is also Goodwy that have forked them in the name of Right Apps. Right Calendar, Right Gallery, Right Messages, Right Files and Right Contacts.
