<blockquote>
<p>GitHub Store is a free, open-source app store for GitHub releases — built by a single 17-year-old developer, Usmon Narzullayev, in Uzbekistan. It runs on Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux from a shared Kotlin Multiplatform / Compose Multiplatform codebase, and is licensed under Apache-2.0.</p>
<p>The app provides three things GitHub itself does not: a discovery layer (trending, popular, hot releases, with platform-aware ranking), an install layer (one-tap, with optional Shizuku, Sui, or Dhizuku silent install on Android), and a verified update layer (SHA-256 against GitHub's published digests, auto-update blocked on signing-key mismatch). It can also import Obtainium libraries and recognise GitHub-sourced apps already installed on the device.</p>
<p>Unlike F-Droid, GitHub Store does not maintain its own curated repository — it indexes the live GitHub Search API, surfaces only repos that ship installable binaries, and falls back to direct GitHub when the curated index lags. Unlike Obtainium, GitHub Store is cross-platform, has discovery built in, and works on Desktop. Its backend (also Apache-2.0, also self-hostable) runs in the EU, hashes search queries client-side, and stores no IP-linked logs.</p>
