PulsarOss

Tired of installing a great FOSS app only to find it was abandoned a year ago?
This checks that before you install — and keeps an eye on the apps you already use.

✨ What it is

📋 Your Watchlist

The apps you actually use, checked for:

  • 🕒 Staleness — how long since the last push or release
  • 🔄 Updates — is there a newer release than your installed version
  • ⚠️ Abandonment risk — will this likely go stale soon

🌱 Fresh Finds — New & actively maintained

Open-source Android projects launched in the last 9 months:

  • ✨ Shizuku customization and utility apps
  • 🛠️ Everyday FOSS tools (Termux, media, system utilities)
  • 🎛️ Filterable by genre, access, and risk

📊 Scoring — transparent, not a black box

Each project gets a composite score from 6 mechanical signals:

Signal Weight Source
⏱️ Recency (days since last push) 24% GitHub pushed_at
📈 Momentum (stars ÷ repo age) 20% stargazers_count + created_at
💬 Issue health (open issues minus open PRs) 16% GitHub Issues + Search API
📄 License presence 8% license field
👥 Contributor count (capped at 20) 12% Contributors API
🚨 Abandonment risk 20% Days since push + issue response

Three flags: 🏷️ Genre, 🔌 Shizuku, 🧩 Generic (common ideas need extra proof to surface).
