The difference from Obtanium seems to be that it presents an app-store front end, so you can browse and search for packages. Obtanium requires manual setup for each repo you want to add.

Like Obtainium?
Came out in Dec 2025 as Github store and changed their name with this release. How does this have 15K stars compared to Obtainium's 17K which has been around since 2022 and is very well known.

Does it contain the workaround for Google's verification hitting this September?
I'll stick with Obtainium. It's been around for years, it's proven itself, and it already does exactly what I need. Komi-store looks interesting, but to me it just feels like another shiny bit of shite trying to reinvent something that already works....

If I understand correctly the project, which I didn't knew, I think the main difference with obtainium is that this one is portable and work on multiple platforms, not only Android. Linux, Windows and MacOS are listed.

This is interesting, but Obtainium exists and this won't stop Google from preventing installing things outside of the play store.
What's wrong with F-droid?

I just get instant ratelimits. I'll stick to Obtainium.

Obtainium?
Vibecoded.
hmmm
Komi Store only helps you discover and download release assets that are already published on GitHub by third‑party developers. The contents, safety, and behavior of those downloads are entirely the responsibility of their respective authors and distributors, not this project.
Yeah like others said just use obtainium for this. It's not vibe coded and updates your apps in the background. Hard to get easier than that.
