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).
Released under the MIT Licence and actively maintained on GitHub by anatawa12 with community contributions.
