The apps we added to this market most recently.
| # | App | Added |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Bun A fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime and toolkit | |
| 2 |  Pharos npm for MCP servers. Search, install, and manage MCP servers | |
| 3 |  Polygraph AI coding agents are limited to how autonomously they can work because they have no model of the codebase as a whole. Polygraph is a meta-harness that gives agents what they're missing: Visibility across every repo boundary and memory that survives the session. Connect all your repos, private and public, into a unified dependency graph without moving any code. Resume, reference or build on any session created by any developer, on another machine, even on different agents. | |
| 4 | RE Refuse Refuse sits in front of npm, pip, cargo, gem, go + 13 more package managers and refuses known-vulnerable installs before they hit disk — the moment you (or your coding agent) run them. Also, Open-source, self-hostable, one Docker container. | |
| 5 |  DepsHub Update all your dependencies on autopilot | |
| 6 | Xeol Find End of Life (EOL) software in your cloud infrastructure | |
| 7 | Dart packages Why complicate? | |
| 8 | YepCode YepCode is a developer-first platform to build, run, and scale AI-powered integrations. Write real JavaScript/Python, use any npm/PyPI package, and ship with the platform plumbing included: secure execution sandboxes, secrets, webhooks, scheduling, logs, and audit. Highlights: Yep Agent (prompt → runnable processes), MCP server/tools (turn code into agent tools), and YepCode Run (serverless runtime + SDK). | |
| 9 | Cloudsmith Your friendly neighbourhood Package Management as a Service | |
| 10 |  Composercat Modern graphical interface for Composer (PHP) |
