FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is GitHub Store?
GitHub Store is a free, open-source app store for GitHub releases. It works on Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. License: Apache-2.0.
Is GitHub Store free?
Yes. The app, the source code, and the backend are all open source under Apache 2.0.
Which platforms does GitHub Store support?
Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. The codebase is shared across all four via Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform.
How does GitHub Store keep installs current?
GitHub Store remembers what you installed and surfaces new releases automatically. On Android you can opt in to silent updates via Shizuku, Sui, or Dhizuku. Auto-update verifies the signing fingerprint matches the originally-installed key before applying any update.
Does GitHub Store work in China?
Yes. The mirror system and backend OAuth proxy work around GitHub throttling on Chinese networks.

How I built GitHub Store to 12,500 stars in 6 months — I started at 16
I built GitHub Store — a cross-platform app store for GitHub releases — in a one-week MVP sprint. Six months later: 12,500+ stars, 250,000+ updates served, and the part where I almost quit at 3,000 stars.
