The original
Komi Store
An open-source app store for installing apps published as releases on GitHub, Codeberg and Forgejo.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Komi Store.
Obtainium
An Android updater that installs apps directly from developer release pages such as GitHub and GitLab.
Obtainium installs and updates apps from GitHub, GitLab, Forgejo, F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid and direct APK links, though some sources rely on web scraping that can break.
Zapstore
An open Android app store built on Nostr where each release is signed by its developer.
Zapstore delivers developer-signed releases through Nostr with a catalog of over 3,000 apps, community curation and direct tipping, instead of pulling from forge release pages.
F-Droid
An app store and client for free and open-source Android apps that works without a Google account.
F-Droid installs free and open source apps that it builds from source itself, rather than taking releases straight from GitHub or Codeberg.
Droid-ify
An uncluttered Android client for browsing and installing apps from F-Droid repositories.
Droid-ify browses F-Droid-format repositories with background updates and Shizuku or root installs, but cannot install apps from GitHub or Codeberg releases directly.
Accrescent
An open-source Android app store focused on security and privacy, with pinned signing keys and signed metadata.
Accrescent is a security-focused store with signing key pinning and signed metadata, but it is still in alpha with a small catalogue.
Also worth comparing
These listings name Komi Store as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
UpgradeAll
An open-source Android app that checks multiple sources for updates to apps and Magisk modules.
Komi Store installs apps from GitHub, Codeberg and Forgejo releases with a browse view, covering only apps published on those forges.
