Fortunately some developers stepped up to fork the Simple apps under the name Fossify;

https://www.fossify.org/apps/

So we can still have that simple, pleasant app experience we know and love, with regular updates via F-Droid or our app manager of choice.

This is a textbook example of how Free Code licenses, which enshrine the software freedoms of the people who use software, can protect us from enshittification.

Yesterday I swapped out all the Simple Mobile Tools apps I've been using for the Fossify forks. It was surprisingly painless. #HatTip to the folks maintaining these.

The original Free Code versions of the apps were built with export/ import tools, for both data and settings in some cases. Obviously the Fossify versions have that too, and it worked seamlessly. I've still got the Simple APS installed in case of any gotchas, but if none crop up I'll delete them in a week or so.
