This is unique from MultiMC in that it's able to use Curseforge's newer API for downloading mods & modpacks, and has an interface for browsing and searching for mods from both Curseforge and Modrinth.

Similar to MultiMC, it is a FOSS Minecraft launcher that only downloads Mojang code needed to login and shim the launch of the Minecraft java process, and is able to manage multiple instances with various different modding frameworks and version numbers involved. It even supports modding old versions using all the various old-school "jar mods" posted to the Minecraft forums around 2010-2011.

It is forked from PolyMC after a hostile takeover of PolyMC. It has all the same developers as PolyMC had.
