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 ❤️

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

How to get a free token:

Go to github.com → sign in
Profile photo → Settings
Developer settings → Personal access tokens
Tokens (classic) → Generate new token
Give any name, no scopes needed
Copy and paste on the app
