    Tried Aves at this suggestion. Really neat!

  I’m using their tools and now I’m worried. What happened?

    The maintainer sold it off to a company called ZipoApps. Here’s the Github thread about it.

    ZipoApps seems to be a company who buys mobile apps to monetize (or further monetize) them. As per their website, their mission is “to find, evaluate, purchase and grow mobile apps”. I suspect the only growth we’ll see with the Simple Mobile suite is the growth of ad-revenue lining this company’s pockets.

    This : github.com/SimpleMobileTools/…/241

    As explained sold to ZippoApps.

    From a reddit post reddit.com/…/simplemobiletools_was_sold_alternati…

    There seems to already be a fork : github.com/FossifyX

    Tho not sure how trusted it can be.

    The reddit post also suggests some alternatives. The comments in that post also suggests more alternatives.

      The FossifyX fork is by naveensingh, who was active in SimpleMobileTools’ development. From what I can tell poking through Github, they might not have as much time to dedicate to the project as the original maintainer.

    If you got them off of F-Droid, don’t worry about a thing. If you didn’t, now is a good time to get them from there.

    The worst thing that will happen if you do this, is that the apps will slowly get older and you might want to download something else. Nothing particularly dire.

  Sit tight, I reckon. All the projects have been forked by one of the more involved contributors to SMT, so I doubt it’ll be long before we have rebranded versions, that’ll take an import of the settings from the original apps.

  Let's see what F-Droid does. Maybe they will switch to releasing an open source fork and we don't have to search for alternatives after all.

  I’ve replaced the calendar all with Etar, but I have pretty limited requirements for calendar apps.

  That being said, if someone knows of any good FOSS clock apps (which lets you set more than one timer at a time) please let me know.

  Why AOSP’s clock, and therefore most apps based on it, only lets you set one timer concurrently is such a frustrating mystery to me. Have these devs never cooked? Have they never steeped tea while doing laundry?? In what world do you code a clock app which can’t have multiple timers?

    Agree 1000% on the timer thing, it’s so incredibly annoying exactly because it seems such an obvious feature to have

    source

    • Evkob@lemmy.ca ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yet most FOSS clock apps I’ve tried miss the mark on this. And trust me, I’ve tried so many darn clock apps.

    Clock you is maybe what u want

    Loving gallery so far and yeah tried etar but the lack of import and export is kind of a biggie for me. Appreciate your help

    source
  • Lemongrab@lemmy.one ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I think this meets your requirements: www.f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/

    I can have a 15 min timer going at the same time as a 37 min one, and have them saved on creation to a list. Best clock app ive found that is feature rich and FOSS

  Gallery looks to have some potential.

  Hey on android? Didn’t know simplemobiletools was sold. I use their qr scanner. Should be fine if updates are disabled from play store and only f-droid versions are used.

  But for alternatives :

  For a gallery app, I find Aves to look pretty good and has many great features github.com/deckerst/aves

  If you need gallery (still not that great yet) & backup : ente gallery (there are other apps too) ente.io

  For a calendar no idea.

    Aves Libre should be used from F-droid, since the Aves package has non-free components.

  are all the apps licensed under gpl? perhaps we get a fork worst case?

  source
• java@beehaw.org ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’m In the need of an offline calendar and gallery now that simplemobiletools got sold off

  This doesn’t sound reasonable. Why can’t you keep using existing apps? Are they underdeveloped and you’re waiting for some features? If so, it’d be helpful to see what these features are in order to suggest a suitable replacement.
