    Thanks for sharing, but I imagine it doesn’t get mentioned as much here because from a privacy perspective, that app seems kinds shady.

    No source code available as far as I can tell, no builds available from a reputable source like F-Droid (just unvetted APK downloads from someone’s Google Drive), no apparent issue tracker beyond a confusing and seemingly outdated network of thread links from 2016 on a forum.

      That’s fair, you’re absolutely right. I probably like it enough that I never had the courage to go through all 2,453 pages of the XDA thread :) Running it through Exodus showed a clean result, so I likely trusted it a bit too quickly. It still feels miles better to me than most proprietary apps on the Play Store, but clearly less easy to trust than the open source apps mentioned above.
