github.com/capacitor-community (https://github.com/capacitor-community 29 ), created in April 2020, is where Capacitor 243,123 developers pool plugins that the core team does not maintain. Its packages share the npm 2,036 scope @capacitor-community/ and, almost always, the MIT license, each with its own volunteer maintainers. On 24 September 2026 the organization held 63 public repositories; a selection of active ones, with figures from the GitHub 29 API:
| Repository | Stars | Last push | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| sqlite | 663 | 2026-08-06 | Native and Electron 20,509 SQLite 4,756 |
| bluetooth-le | 361 | 2026-09-10 | Bluetooth Low Energy central role |
| admob | 299 | 2026-09-11 | Google AdMob 1 ads |
| stripe | 247 | 2026-09-11 | Stripe 238 mobile SDK wrapper |
| keep-awake | 174 | 2026-05-27 | Keeping the screen on |
The table leaves out two famous names. barcode-scanner (444 stars) and http (210) are archived. The first is deprecated in favor of the official @capacitor/barcode-scanner, and native HTTP now ships in @capacitor/core as CapacitorHttp. Their install instructions are still easy to find, so check a repository's status before you copy an install command. Active plugins follow Capacitor's majors, so their versions start with 8 too.
