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.

    Tldr:

    in order for Accrescent to continue advancing, we need $5,800/month in recurring donations to fund its full-time development.

    We are currently receiving $112 each month in recurring donations.

    We are currently spending $53.53/month on our services.

    We recently discovered that an unprecedented Monero donation of ~$16,062.50 was received in the short time after we totaled the latest values for this article but before it was posted.

    Because this is a significant donation, we will be posting an update on our social media accounts soon about what this means for the project

      Update: They’ve released a roadmap.

      They have a fixed plan for the next 3 months, mostly back-end improvements for app developers.

      Longer term plans are listed in order of priority but without a time line, it depends on how much of their funding goal they reach.

      Current funding on Github shown at 10% of goal.
