in an intuitive and lean view.

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.
Anti-Features: Tracking(the application tracks and reports your activity to somewhere – usually either without your consent, or by default (i.e. you’d have to actively disable it)):
⇒ The app uses Sentry, which is enabled by default.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
