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. 🙏

    Thanks! 😊 I’m not trying to make money just wanted something calm and easy for my parents. I totally understand the value of open source. Once things are more stable, I might consider sharing the code. For now, it’s 100% offline, ad-free, and private

      There’s really no way to trust you on that, except looking at the source code. “Stability” has nothing to do with open-sourcing.

        That’s fair I just want to clean up and organize the code first, then I’ll make it open-source so everything’s transparent. Appreciate the feedback!

          Maybe you could consider making it source available?
          So others could verify your claims but you stay in full control and deny any sort of pull requests.

          There’s no reason not to publish messy code. Most code ends up being messy.
