Hoping to have a private beta test within a month or two. For now calling the app Kmoon (K🌛)

EDIT: the app will be x-platform (iOS, Android and Mac)

Maybe a name like Aurora or Nova could work. Like it is still space / celestial themed but both symbolize “new” (aurora - new morning after nighttime, nova, explosion of light / pent up energy), and can work as a spiritual successor paying homage to Apollo. Great idea btw I just signed up.

What about something like Komet? Then it would still be space themed, but have the K from kbin as well.

Wouldn't recommend using "Aurora". It's already the main alternative to the official google play store, and it's getting hunted down by Google.You wouldn't this nice new app to get stuck into this unrelated mess.

To add to this, Nova is a very popular Android launcher as well.

That’s fair! I was giving examples but you’re right this and what another user mentioned about Nova make them imperfect choices. I like the idea of paying homage to Apollo somehow.
