Simple Mobile Tools is being sold to a for-profit firm ZipoApps - eviltoast

Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I’ve personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It’s a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

    Now you need to change the names and make these new names famous, since that’s the thing that the company has really bought. The brand.

      Not my intent. I’ll do this, but don’t have the time to fully maintain or distribute. Maybe I’ll organize releases for Obtainium, where FOSS elites will grab them, but I’m not in it to “promote”, just to “save”.

      Hopefully someone with more motivation comes along and does what you are saying, though.
