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.
