App Store Plugin For KOReader

omerfaruq · 11-22-2025, 04:28 PM

- Sort and filter plugins according to your needs.
- Install plugins and patches directly on your device
- Check for updates and do the updates
- Match plugins/patches that are not installed via App Store to check updates, also for them
- You need a GitHub account and a (free) token to utilize this plugin.
- This plugin includes all the plugins that have [name].koplugin , [koreader.patches] as their name, or topics [koreader-plugin], [koreader-user-patch].

You can download the plugin from this repo: https://github.com/omer-faruq/appstore.koplugin

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks very promising. Thanks!

Does it support having the main.lua / _meta.lua not in the root directory? I like to keep mine in a sub-folder (no need to bundle all assets, etc. onto the devices); see screenlockpin for example. It could probably check for some .koplugin directory inside the repository.

Yes, it does. It searches for _meta.lua to determine the related subfolder. I tried to install screenlockpin, and it installed without a problem.

Installed this on my Kobo with Koreader but on checking for updates it doesn't find any updates. For example I have "screenlockpin.koplugin--2025.10-2" installed but no update is listed for it? Do I need to remove my manual install and then re-install via the appstore?

To check updates, the "Repo" line should be filled with the correct repository information.

You have two options :

use match button to match the plugin with a repo (I prefer this one)
reinstall it via App Store plugin

Either should work.

Thanks - I reinstalled it from the app store which worked (though it did reset config settings I'd made to keep the pin lock screen full screen but my PIN was kept)....

Really handy plugin as keeping track of updates is a real pain without this!
