I honestly feel really hurt seeing some of these comments. I put a lot of effort into making something simple and safe no ads, no internet, no tracking — and people are calling it malware or fake.

It’s completely free I just wanted to build something good. I never expected this kind of hate or false claims.

Anyway, I’m going to delete this post. Thanks to the few who actually understood what I was trying to do. 🙏

      Nope, real person here 😊 I built this myself for my parents because they found Android hard to use. Just sharing it to get feedback and ideas from others not a company or bot.

        Welcome to the Fediverse. Just a heads up, your post does read like botspam and people here are very protective of this corner of the internet. The emoji-led list isn’t helping.

        I’ve set up older relatives’ phones to work in a similar way (iOS widgets and shortcuts mostly) so I really appreciate your effort here. But even if you just are just stepping in here to make a few posts and then leave, please make an effort not to talk down to us like you’re screaming into the void on Instagram or LinkedIn.

        Edit: Your comments do read like they came out of a slop generator. And publishing your code, even if it’s not beautiful, even if you’re cleaning it up in the future, would be a sign of goodwill.

        Trust is a two way street my friend. It’s up to you not to seem suspicious.
