with the simple tools suite being sold to a purveyor of non-foss things, remind me of your favorite lists of recommended apps? i was using simple contacts and am not immediately sure of a good replacement. i would want one without internet permissions, which was why i disabled the google builtin.

The moment I found out about this, they all got replaced for other apps. Don't get me wrong, I hope the dev got paid handsomely for this. Those are the people that make our lives easier by allowing us to move away from big tech by empowering us to actually own our data. Hopefully the dev will take the bag of cash, say thank you, and have no monetary concerns for the rest of his life,and then, for fun, create another suite of apps.

Edit: Downvoting my own comment because @adam_b opened my eyes to some facts I did not consider.
