This app allows you to install and manage applications contained in a single app, using certificate pairs and various installation techniques to allow apps to install to your device. This is an entirely stock application and uses built-in features to be able to do this!

### Features
- User friendly, and clean UI.
- Sign and install applications.
- Supports [AltStore](https://faq.altstore.io/distribute-your-apps/make-a-source#apps) repositories.
- View detailed information about apps and your certificates.
- Configurable signing options mainly for modifying the app, such as appearance and allowing support for the files app.
- This includes patching apps for compatibility and Liquid Glass.
- Tweak support for advanced users, using [Ellekit](https://github.com/tealbathingsuit/ellekit) for injection.
- Supports injecting `.deb` and `.dylib` files.
- Actively maintained: always ensuring most apps get installed properly.
- No tracking or analytics, ensuring user privacy.
- Of course, open source and free.

It's under this specific license because I wanted to make a project that is transparent to the user thats related to certificate paired sideloading, before this project there weren't any open source projects that filled in this gap.
