I just noticed today that i no longer have "Simple Gallery Pro" on my phone. It vanished from f-droid, too: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro/
I know Simple Mobile tools have been sold to ZipoApps and their future is unclear, but I did not expect the apps to just disappear on f-droid and my phone!
Do you know of any forks yet?
What would be the closest alternative for the gallery?
Can I expect all my "Simple Mobile Tools" apps to just disappear?
Edit: It seems it F-Droid just automatically upgraded to "Fossify Gallery". It just did not replace the icon shortcut in my launcher. So no vanishing, just a silent replacement. I can live with that :). Thanks for all of your helpful replies.

There's a fork called Fossify that is expected to replace the Simple Mobile Tools. There's a Gallery and File Manager app already. I am not sure how it's different from the pro version though. It's a fork of the Simple Gallary app that was in Fdroid.

And you can already get these forks through your fdroid client by adding the IzzyOnDroid repo! There's also the calendar that released!

This one is already available in the official f-droid repo: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/
