-# Status
+## Status
-Working on open sourcing my free app that has existed on the Play Store for years.
+No new features planned, only updates are to keep the app available on newer Android versions.
-This was my first app and will likely also be the first to get a Kotlin rewrite since it looks ancient on newer devices! ;D
+
+## Update Notes
