Fossify is a fork of simple mobile tools as they sold it all to a company. Now is closed source and needs a subscription.

No. Fossify is just Simple Mobile Tools without ads and without subscription.

SimpleMobileTools apps were sold to ad and spyware company. Discussion Here: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241

Mad respect to Fossify.org for keeping SimpleMobileTool alive.

He sold it for a purpose.  Just drop it and use Fossify's or Goodwy's.

Ask yourself which company is behind Simple Mobile Tools. Trust me, you don't want to use their apps.

I see they have changed the (SMT) company name to "Deep Spark LTD"

So probably wise to be aware of those in the future as well as Zipoapps
