Arch Linux AUR tools

This cluster consists of small utilities for browsing and managing Arch Linux AUR packages, including terminal browsers, an Android app, a package helper, and a system tray tracker. The dated history shows an isolated 2017 entry, then a gap, followed by five entries from June 2025 to March 2026, indicating recent renewed interest. Traction is minimal; the top activity signals are pkgview, pactrack, and pplhatearch, each with 0 stars.
