I mentioned this in a post here several weeks back, but couldn’t remember which app installed from a .deb package had displayed an ad when I first started it.
Looking for a new to-do app today I came across it again and, as requested, am sharing this since I can now name the app (and now I’m uninstalling it again).
The app is WeekToDo. On the first start it flashed a brief banner for a different app called “SnapClear” - apparently an AI powered image cropping app that is also listed as one of WeekToDo’s sponsors, on the WeekToDo website. I started it again to see if it would continue to display ads but on the second start it did not. So I can’t say if it would continue to do so in the future as I won’t be using it.
[Edit: missed a letter]
There are several todo managers in the official repos. Not sure why I would go out of my way to install a random deb, for an app with telemetry no less.
