termux/termux-app

Choose this fork if you want a customized, expert-focused Termux build and can tolerate stale upstream parity and higher maintenance risk. Stick with upstream if you want the safest path for fixes, compatibility, and long-term updates.

Prefer this fork if your goal is graphical X11 support and richer mobile interaction inside Termux. Prefer upstream if you want the smallest-risk, most up-to-date baseline terminal app.

Choose this fork only if you specifically want its docs or debug-build workflow tweaks. For normal users or anyone wanting the latest Termux behavior and fixes, upstream is the better choice.

Choose this fork if you want a launcher-centric Termux with voice/notification features and custom startup behavior. Choose upstream if you want the most current, actively maintained Termux app and plugin compatibility.

Prefer upstream unless you explicitly need this fork's legacy/custom behavior. The divergence is large enough that adopting it means accepting stale maintenance and a substantial catch-up cost.

Choose upstream unless you specifically need this fork's custom automation/bootstrap workflow; otherwise the staleness and upstream lag make it a poor default adoption target.

Adopt only if your goal is to revive the VR experiment or mine it for ideas. For normal Termux use, this fork is too old and divergent to be a practical base.

Choose this fork only if you specifically need its older, customized Termux baseline and build naming/versioning behavior. For most adopters, upstream is the safer choice because this fork is stale and substantially behind current maintenance.

Prefer this fork only if you want a maintenance shell around upstream Termux. If you want app improvements, plugin work, or bugfixes, upstream is the better choice.
