Anyone know if they have plans to put this on F-Droid?
I searched for it there and found it

Not affiliated with them in any way but want to say this: support them, if you can. The amount of support, or lack thereof, could make or break this fork.
ELI5, please?
Can we pretend that… Say… An imaginary friend of mine has never heard of this and wants to know what it is. Purely hypothetical of course.
There is a collection of open source apps that aim to just do their job with no fancy additions, they were called “Simple mobile tools”. They are no longer maintained, this is a fork of them.
They are (hopefully) maintained by the company that bought them. And yes, this is the fork.
Considering what the company does with other apps it buys we actually hope that they don’t maintain their apps.
Great! So what is it?
Simple tools for mobile; gallery, calendar, file manager, etc. A fork of the unmaintained Simple mobile tools.
Nice! The settings export/import from the SMT version to the new Fossify version works perfectly, plus we get a nice green icon, to easily tell them apart. So happy they’re forking these apps.
Awesome news!
