Fossify Messages is your trusted messaging companion

I hate this kind of advertising language.

Don't sell this as some fait accompli , done deal thing. It's not anything to me at the moment. It doesn't need to be my "messaging companion". It needs to be a program, that I use to send and receive SMS/MMS messages. That's it.

And "trusted"? I'll be the judge of that.

All Fossify apps have descriptions generated by AI and they are terrible. I guess that's in the spirit of "forking" (or rather just repackaging) what were previously Simple (brand) apps.

they are not rebranding. the main simple apps dev sold it to some company, and second main dev leads community fork afaik.
