The Future of Accrescent
blog.accrescent.app
Accrescent is a novel Android app store focused on security, privacy, and usability. We’ve been building Accrescent since 2021 to improve the security and freedom of everyday Android users by providing an alternative to Google Play which doesn’t compromise on technical excellence and protecting our users. Aligned with this mission, over 42,000 people worldwide trust Accrescent to deliver their apps safely. Now, we need your help to continue. Accrescent has always been free to use because we believe security shouldn’t have to come at a price. We also understand we’re trusted by our users to secure a sensitive and significant portion of their lives — the apps they use — so we’ve built Accrescent transparently, making our code open source so others can run and inspect it as they please.

      Apparently split APKs (yay) and the lack of decentralization (like in snap vs flatpak, nay)

    I’ll be honest, I used this store three months ago, and the most polite compliment I can provide is that it “technically works”. It’s extremely barebones in its current state. IE the bare minimum for a functional app store is the install button, and that does function. But that’s pretty much all the thing it has, at least from a user point of view.

    I mean, it’s a shame that its future is in question, but you know… Spilled milk and all.
