Have you ever wondered how to manage your passwords? Or would you like to have your own virtual wallet, but do not know what to do? Then it is time for you to discover JCAppStore, first open source smart card store and GUI tool.

I am in!

There are several things you need to have and know first. Don't worry, we tried to make it as intuitive as possible.

  1. 💳 Own a card - naturally, you need to have a card. If don't check this awesome buyer's guide.
  2. 🔑 Make sure you know the master password. This should've been given to you by card vendor. Though for most common card types, the store recognizes the default passwords automatically 👍.
  3. 🔡 Get yourself familiar with basic terms. You've learned words like software, touch screen, charger and so on. Smart cards have their own terms too.

How the store works?

This application is only a tool for card management. It will not allow you to use the card applications themselves. That's why we try to include a pool (store), that contains safe, and intuitive software to install. You will always find the usage guide in the store item details. Also, in the right upper corner, browse help for more detailed description.

Store content

You can browse the store using search bar in the left menu. You can search either by application name, category or a developer. Follow these steps:

  1. Read the applet use info field before installing. It states any necessary steps that has to be taken in order to use the applet.
  2. Install the newest applet version. In the case of failure check whether: 3) the card have enough install memory space, 4) you know whether the sdk installed is supported by your card (see SDK version field in the install dialog window), 5) the applet requires a technology not suported by your card (NFC for example) - find your card here, 6) you modified advanced install section with incorrect values.
  3. Enjoy!
