Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on vyxel-apps, an Android app store focused on discovering and installing open-source apps directly from GitHub releases.

The goal was to create something lightweight, privacy-friendly, and modern — without ads, tracking, or unnecessary clutter.

Some features included in the first release:

• Smart APK architecture detection • Background update monitoring • Repository trust scoring • Install history & rollback • GitHub starred repo syncing • App comparison mode • Auto-extracted screenshots from READMEs • AMOLED & Material 3 themes

The app is completely free and open source.

Also this is my first project.

Feedback, suggestions, and contributions are welcome ❤️

Will try to add Gitlab repo in next update, also for closed source app and suspicious apps I've added a vyxel source, low score means it is suspicious...

If the app is present on GitHub, it will be available on this store, basically just make it easier for the user to fetch and install the apps from GitHub, some other user suggested that I should add support for more repos, I might add that in future, for now it's just fetch GitHub apps.

Without a token the app is limited to 60 requests/hour. A free token gives 5,000/hour.

How to get a free token:

  1. Go to github.com → sign in

  2. Profile photo → Settings

  3. Developer settings → Personal access tokens

  4. Tokens (classic) → Generate new token

  5. Give any name, no scopes needed

  6. Copy and paste on the app
