Brings the old BSD fortune command to the Apple world! This is for those old enough to remember Unix and had the time to play around with time wasters like this.

Long Needed Update, Couple of Problems
01/28/2017

Here's what's good about the update; it works with newer versions of iOS, and it has a widget. What's bad is it doesn't let you select text anymore, and there's no way to clear the list of fortunes (bad if you see something you don't want others to see). If those two problems were fixed, I'd give it five stars.

Random font size

I’d give one or two more stars if all of the fortunes were readable. Right now, the fortunes show up with random font sizes (and, no, there is no relationship between the length of the fortunes and the size of the font). Some of the fortunes literally seem to be using a 2pt font size; in other words, they’re completely unreadable…

Developer Response
Has to do with the width of the fortune and the screen size so the original layout of the fortune can be preserved. Thanks for the feedback.

These are the type of fortunes I've enjoyed. I like the option to turn "long fortunes" off. They can get too long and annoying.

This worked prior to ios 9 update.

Updated for iOS 26 and a more Liquid Glass look and feel. Added some new fortune files that I found.
