#Accrescent A novel Android app store focused on security, privacy, and usability. Currently in early alpha https://accrescent.app https://github.com/accrescent/accrescent Features: App signing key pinning Signed repository metadata Automatic, unprivileged, unattended updates First-class support for split APKs No remote APK signing Meaningful quality control for submitted apps No account requirement for installing apps ...and more. See the features page on the website for details. Warning from its faq: Apps do not need to be open-source to be submitted to Accrescent. Although open-source software provides additional transparency and can make it easier for users to check overall code quality, it is not inherently more secure or private than closed-source software. Likewise, proprietary software is not inherently less secure or private than open-source software. Since Accrescent is focused on security and privacy it wouldn't make sense for it to restrict developers to a specific source model. #apk#store
