Why Soar?
Universal Packages
Static binaries, AppImages, FlatImages — one tool handles them all. Packages come from bincache and pkgcache repositories.
Fast & Efficient
Written in Rust. Pre-built binary cache means no local compilation. Parallel downloads and installs keep things moving.
Distro-Independent
Works the same on Debian, Arch, Fedora, Alpine, or anything else running Linux. No system dependencies.
Secure by Design
Packages built on remote CI servers with auditable build logs. Verified with BLAKE3 checksums and minisign signatures.
Desktop Integration
Follows freedesktop.org specs — automatic desktop entries, icon scaling, and menu integration.
No Root Needed
Everything installs to your home directory by default. No sudo, no system-level changes, fully portable.
