    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.

      I feel like the obtanium way is better because you have to consciously make the choice and weight the risk, while this is too convenient and will just end up like AUR full of malware. I do not even use Obtanium btw, I don’t have time to check the apps code regularly, I think F-droid is better way and Aurora for the few that are not there.

    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.

    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.

    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…
