Currently in early alpha.
Accrescent is a private and secure Android app store built with modern features in mind. It aims to provide a developer-friendly platform and pleasant user experience while enforcing modern security and privacy practices and offering robust validity guarantees for installed apps.
- App signing key pinning: first-time app installs are verified so you don't have to TOFU.
- Signed repository metadata: repository contents are protected against malicious tampering.
- Automatic, unattended, unprivileged updates (Android 12+): updates are handled seamlessly without relying on privileged OS integration.
- Designed for split APKs: downloaded APKs are optimized for your device to save bandwidth.
- No remote APK signing: developers are in full control of their app signing keys.
- No account required: users don't need an account to install apps, improving privacy.
