tytus-app-catalog

Curated catalog of Featured apps for the Tytus OS App Store. The shell fetches featured.json from this repo at boot and shows the entries in the App Store's "Featured" section with one-click Install.

Why a separate repo

Adding a new featured app, or bumping a featured app's pinned tag, should NOT require an OS release. This repo is the source of truth; the App Store fetches it via jsDelivr each session, falling back to a hardcoded built-in catalog if the fetch fails.

Current featured production apps

App	Current pinned manifest	Notes
Atomek	traylinx/[email protected]/tytus-app.json	Branded Tytus Resource Fabric cockpit, Monaco editor, intelligent chat, persistent workspace state, artifacts, AIL routing, embedded docs/skills, mission folders, OpenClaw/Hermes pods, local agents, shared folders, app skills, and approval-gated outputs.

Keep app manifest URLs pinned to immutable app tags. The catalog pointer can move; app bundles should not.

Schema

{
  "version": 1,
  "updatedAt": "ISO-8601 timestamp",
  "apps": [
    {
      "id": "<canonical app id>",
      "name": "<display name>",
      "description": "<one-line summary>",
      "icon": "<lucide icon name>",
      "category": "Productivity | DevTools | Media | Creative | ...",
      "manifestUrl": "<https URL to the app's tytus-app.json>"
    }
  ]
}

Adding an app

1. Publish your app to its own public repo at github.com/<owner>/tytus-app-<id>.
2. Tag a release with a built dist/index.js + tytus-app.json (Forge currently uses 0.1.0; older apps may use v0.X.Y).
3. Open a PR here adding an entry to apps[].
4. Merge → tag a new v0.X.Y of tytus-app-catalog → users see your app the next time the App Store refreshes.

Versioning

tytus-app-catalog itself is tag-pinned. The Tytus OS shell fetches:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/traylinx/[email protected]/featured.json

Current Tytus OS builds fetch the catalog from the mutable main branch so featured-app additions and Forge version bumps do not require an OS rebuild. Keep app manifest URLs pinned to immutable app tags; only this catalog pointer is mutable. For historical releases, tags such as v0.7.0 remain available.
