I don’t use the Play store (don’t want a Google account) and prefer to stay away Github because Microsoft. Thanks.

Added: Thanks for the links! Unfortunately it looks like the app requires Android 8.0+ and my phone is still on Android 7. Is that inherent to Jetpack or some other part of the app technology? It would be good to not have to keep churning to the latest shiny.

    Thanks, it’s hard to tell how many users are still on Android 7 but it seems to be fewer than I had expected. Still, if supporting the old versions isn’t difficult, I hope that upstream will accept it. Meanwhile I will try to be a little more open to getting another phone.

      Numbers reported by Google as of May 30 2023… 92.4% have 8.0 or later. 3% have Android 7, 4% have Android 5 and 6, 0.5% still run less than 5.0.

        That is pretty frightening. Lots of perfectly good phones must have gone in the trash. Maybe I will look for a used Pixel 4A.
