A marketplace, not a file dump
The first Tool Store let you share packages. A real ecosystem also needs trust and discovery. Tool Store v2 provides both, with free acquisition and an atomic, balance-backed paid purchase path for eligible products.
For publishers: a review pipeline
Publishing now goes through a submission and review pipeline. You bundle your steps, panels, and viewers with the lsdtools SDK, submit through the portal, and the listing is reviewed before it reaches users. That keeps the catalog clean and gives people confidence that what they install does what it says.
Every listing carries a star rating, written reviews from real installers, and media so you can see a tool in action. Discovery is no longer a guessing game — the community's signal is right there on the card and the detail page.
Acquire on the web, install in the app
Acquisition lives on the web and the desktop downloads only the exact signed artifact from the catalog. Free packages are added directly. For an eligible paid listing, choose its one-time or monthly plan. LSD validates the server-owned price, atomically debits the exact USD amount from your Store balance, and grants the licence in the same operation, so retrying cannot charge twice. Monthly plans renew from that balance and can be cancelled for the end of the paid period. Automatic balance reload appears only in deployments where an approved funding capability is configured.
