Yeah, it is extremely difficult to troubleshoot the notifications on android since the settings are so convoluted. One never knows exactly where the problem is. I hope linux phones becomes a viable alternative soon because enshitification is rapidly making mobile devices unworkable.

Have been mostly great for me, I use the calendar, files, and gallery apps on multiple devices pretty much daily. The difference between fossify and the ugly bloated bullshit google is pushing nowadays is stark. The only problem I have had was with calendar not sending notifications properly but I suspect that was android derping and not a problem with the app itself.

Looks great, will try it out!

Much heavier than what you are asking but worthwhile nevertheless:

A New History of Western Philosophy by Anthony Kenny

The title says it all, it passes through most of the important philosophers of the western tradition. It is perfect to understand what (academic) philosophy is all about. Took me four months to finish but it was definitely worth it.

Yeah but it saves everything in your folder so even if it is closed your data remains

Try Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. One of the best books I’ve ever read and is more or less what you are describing.
