Focus on fewer core apps to improve quality and attract more donations

Hi Naveen and Fossify team,

First of all, thank you for all your effort maintaining Fossify. The fact that one developer is able to revive the whole SimpleMobileTools suite and offer open-source alternatives is deeply appreciated by the community.

However, I wanted to raise an idea: Currently, there are around 15 Fossify apps, many of which are still in beta (like Notes, Launcher, Calculator, Clock). This can feel a bit overwhelming and might limit the polish, stability, and feature richness of each app.

Would it make more sense to focus on just 2–3 core apps (such as Calendar, File Manager, and Gallery) and push them to a fully stable, high-quality state first? That could also:

• Increase user trust and app store ratings
• Attract more consistent donations
• Make the project easier to maintain long-term

I think many users, like myself, would be happy to support more financially if the focus was clearer and updates more stable.

Thanks again for all your hard work 🙏

I don't see the necessity to trim down right now. The apps are more stable than before, even if they are now marked as beta.

I think many users, like myself, would be happy to support more financially if the focus was clearer and updates more stable.

Donations aren't really going to cut it, regardless of the core focus and updates are released about every month or as necessary.

Want desktop versions? ;)
