LocalChromeStore v0.1.0 — initial release

A personal store for the Chromium extensions you build yourself. Lists every extension across your GitHub repos, downloads the latest release ZIP/CRX, and loads them into Chrome / Brave / Edge with a single click.

Install

  1. Download LocalChromeStore-v0.1.0-win-x64.zip below
  2. Extract anywhere
  3. Run LocalChromeStore.exe

Requires the .NET 9 Desktop Runtime (Windows will prompt to install if it's missing — pick the Desktop runtime, not the ASP.NET one).

Verify the download with the published SHA256 in LocalChromeStore-v0.1.0-win-x64.zip.sha256.txt.

Highlights

  • WPF / .NET 9, MVVM, Catppuccin Mocha dark theme
  • GitHub-sourced discovery — every repo with a release .zip / .crx or a manifest.json qualifies
  • Store-style cards with extension logo, name, version, description, repo link, install / uninstall buttons
  • One-click install: download → unpack → register, with version pruning
  • One-click launch: detects Chrome / Brave / Edge / Vivaldi / Opera / Chromium and starts the browser with --load-extension= pointing at every installed extension
  • Optional GitHub PAT (raises rate limit, allows private repos)
  • Optional GitHub topic filter to restrict discovery
  • Activity log + on-disk crash log
  • Full async I/O — UI never blocks

Known limitations

  • --load-extension triggers Chromium's "developer mode extensions" banner. This is normal Chromium behavior, not a LocalChromeStore bug. The Enterprise Policy install path planned for v0.2.0 will eliminate the banner.
  • Auto-update is not yet implemented — refresh detects new releases but install is still per-card.
  • Light theme is on the v0.4.0 backlog.
