About Pi Apps

Pi-Apps is a collection of shell scripts that install apps missing from apt repositories on ARM Linux. The scripts download each app from where it is already hosted, rather than using a standardized packaging format or centralized hosting.

It installs with a terminal command and can be run from the start menu, by terminal command, or from its install directory. It checks for updates on boot and includes a manual updater. Support is limited to listed Raspberry Pi models, OS releases, and other ARM devices; Trixie 32-bit, Raspberry Pi Pico, unofficial Debian and Ubuntu derivatives, non-Debian systems, Windows, macOS, Android, and ChromeOS are listed as unsupported or non-working.
