A 17-year-old developer from Uzbekistan has built the open-source app store GitHub never shipped.
It’s called GitHub Store.
The platform turns GitHub releases into a clean app-store experience for Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
For years, downloading open-source apps from GitHub has been messy.
Users had to open a repo, find the releases page, choose between APK, EXE, DMG, AppImage, or DEB files, and hope they picked the right one.
GitHub Store removes that friction.
It automatically detects installable files from GitHub repositories, shows the correct version for your device, and lets you install or update apps directly.
It includes:
One-click installs
Popular apps
Recently updated apps
Platform filtering
No account requirement
Open-source code
This is basically an app store built on top of GitHub releases.
And it may be one of the simplest ways to discover and install open-source software without digging through release pages.
GitHub Store is free, open-source, and available now.
