  • Simple-Calendar

    A simple calendar with events, tasks, customizable colors, widgets and no ads.

    I would be wary of using their calendar app. It has had a long-standing bug in basic timezone / DST handling:

  • Simple-File-Manager

    Easy app for managing your files without ads, respecting your privacy & security

    Warning, the reaction to massive security issues in a bundled PDF reader of the file manager made me uninstall all of these apps. Safety of my device and data is paramount.

    https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/iss...

    https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/iss... where the developer shows no grasp of security "what can happen to an app without internet access?"

    A "simple" file manager should not come with a PDF reader.
