Google is changing how Android installs apps, and stores like this one are at risk. keepandroidopen.org

How this site works

A free, open store for open-source Android apps, with no accounts and no servers.

The whole trick, in three sentences

1. Every app listing is a tiny public file in a GitHub repository. Anyone can propose one, and a robot checks it.

2. Downloads come straight from each app’s own releases; we never host or change the files.

3. Stars and comments are the app’s real GitHub stars and discussions; we don’t invent our own.

For grown-ups and developers

This site is a listing, not an app store with review teams. We check automatically that a listed project exists, is public, and declares an open-source license, but we don’t audit code and we don’t scan APKs. The honest trust signal is the one open source has always had: the code is public, the community is public, and the download comes from the project itself.

Found something that shouldn’t be here? Every app page has a Report link. Reports are public GitHub issues and removals are fast.

Want to list your app? It’s a three-minute form: Publish. Updating a listing is a normal pull request.

Fast by design

The whole site is static files, with no accounts, no tracking scripts, nothing between you and the apps. Pages are tiny and work even with JavaScript switched off.

The one thing we count

When you tap an app’s Download button, we add one to that app’s download count: just a number per app, nothing about who you are. Those numbers make the “Most downloaded” order (278 downloads so far).
