+This project started out as a fork of the great [OTP Authenticator](https://github.com/0xbb/otp-authenticator) app written by [Bruno Bierbaumer](https://github.com/0xbb),
+which has sadly been inactive since 2015. By now almost every aspect of the app has been re-written and changed so the fork status of the Github repository got

 ## Help wanted:
 I currently don't have that much time to spend developing andOTP, so any contributions are always welcome.
