Fair enough, you only have my word on it (that it doesn't send any data to the Internet). But you do have my word :)

Another person requested that the app be open-sourced as well. I will look into that.

I would greatly appreciate it, if this was open source :) Especially since this will be able to read 2FA codes sent by SMS. (I get that SMS 2FA codes are not perfectly safe to begin with, I personally don't love them either, but they are still used on a bunch of services)

Just makes me sleep a little better.

I'm going to join the list of voices requesting open source here. If you're not planning to charge money for this, there are several benefits starting with increased trust.

Mobile apps are a cesspool of user-hostile behavior, and I have a strong preference for not giving closed source apps access to sensitive data.

> completely free, and there is no advertising or hidden gotchas

I don't understand why not release the source if the app is completely free, what are you trying to protect?

Putting on my CISO hat, if they release the source, someone else could then create an app, but this time maliciously with said exfiltration of information, and publish it on play with paid ad time.
