		mcv 10 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Fossify – A suite of open-source, ad-free apps Everything Android seems to be increasingly enshittified these days. I switched to Fossify gallery because I don't want my photos synced with google Photos anymore. When my default Messenger suddenly demanded access to my Google account, I looked for a replacement and all alternatives I could find on Google Play had ads, so again Fossify saved me. Love it so far.

I just use apps (Dialer, Contacts, Gallery, Camera, etc.) from https://simplemobiletools.com. Source code: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools.

Its Gallery looks similar to Fossify's. Its "About" seems almost identical, so I dunno.
