Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a project called Termux App Store — a terminal-based app store / package manager experience designed specifically for Termux on Android.
The main goal is to make discovering, installing, and even sharing tools easier directly from the terminal without needing a full graphical UI.
Why I made it
Using Termux on mobile is powerful, but sometimes:
- remembering package names is annoying
- typing long install commands on a phone is tedious
- discovering new tools isn’t very user-friendly
- sharing personal scripts/tools can feel fragmented
So I wanted to experiment with something that feels more like an “app store” experience while still staying fully inside the terminal.
Features
- Modern TUI interface
- Browse tools interactively
- Search packages quickly
- Install tools directly from the UI
- Lightweight and mobile-friendly
- Works entirely in terminal
- Community-driven tool uploads/distribution
- Easy navigation without memorizing commands
- Designed specifically for the Termux ecosystem
Idea Behind It
Instead of:
pkg install something
git clone something
cd something
bash install.sh
You can browse and manage tools in one place with a cleaner workflow.
The idea is not to replace Termux packages, but to create a more user-friendly layer for discovering and distributing tools/scripts/projects inside the community.
Current Status
Still actively being developed and improved.
I’m experimenting with:
- better package management
- repository integration
- smoother UI/UX
- upload/distribution system
- plugin-style architecture
- performance improvements for low-end devices
Feedback Welcome
I’d love feedback from the Termux community:
- What features would you want?
- What would make it genuinely useful?
- What problems do you face using Termux on mobile?
