Alternative Creator Companion (also known as ALCOM) is an open-source, cross-platform desktop client for managing VRChat packages. It wraps the vrc-get command-line tool in a fast graphical interface and serves as a lightweight, community-driven alternative to the official VRChat Creator Companion (VCC).

Features

It supports all features VCC does, additionally it supports:

  • Changelogs, shows links to Changelogs on update.
  • Speed-optimised, parallel downloads, local caching, and a queue system keep installs and upgrades quick, even across multiple Unity projects. Faster then VCC.
  • Multi-Language, English, Japanese, German, French, Simplified and Traditional Chinese

OS Distribution options
