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.
They must have a lot of overhead for just a handful of apps. If they provided a better catalogue, it would be more popular and have a greater chance of garnering more donations.
No, the apps they serve are essential to be secure and safe. I get the ambitions but if you get what they offer now almost guaranteed safe, you can build your installed from that
If only they served essential apps (like they are doing now) so you can ease your mind with a fresh install, to build on top other apps you use. It might not be what we have dreamed, but that is still an unpriceable win.

yeah, it’s a wasteland that lost the fight with Obtanium I guess.
I expect thorough review from a trusted repo, and verified signatures. You don’t really know what you get with Obtainium piping hot from GitHub.

I mean what does it provide? Fdroid but fewer apps?
