About Hb Appstore
Homebrew App Store is an open-source graphical interface for downloading and managing homebrew apps from an online repository. It is written in SDL2 with Chesto and uses the get package manager to download and manage apps. It is licensed under GPLv3.
The Wii U and Switch versions install to the console's SD card and need access to a homebrew launcher or menu to run. Standalone PC executables are provided for Linux, Mac, and Windows and download files to an sdroot folder relative to the app's path. Work-in-progress ports to Wii and 3DS exist with varying feature support and are not yet ready for most users. A web interface at apps.fortheusers.org can also be used to download files directly.
