> Please make the app available via F-Droid and other FOSS stores

I believe full source code for the app is available, so all that's needed is a volunteer to help the devs set up an #FDroid repo for releases. Once that's working the app can be installed and updated using F-Droid, and getting it into their main repo is much quicker and easier.

For now, you could use #Obtainium to install directly from the release files on the project's code forge. This is bit more experimental.

* File manager: Fossify File Manager (Play/F-Droid)
* Gallery: Fossify Gallery (Play/F-Droid), Aves Gallery (Play/F-Droid/Accrescent)
* Notes: EasyNotes (Accrescent/F-Droid)
