About

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.

Features

  • 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.

For more details, check out the features page.

Download

Accrescent currently runs on Android 10 and up.

Download Accrescent

Accrescent can also be downloaded from the GrapheneOS App Store. This is the recommended approach for GrapheneOS users.
