About this app

Android app store for open-source apps on GitHub. Developers publish an app by adding the topic "arkstore" to its repository; the store installs and updates APKs straight from GitHub releases.

ARK-Store is an Android app store for open-source apps that live on GitHub. Developers publish their apps to it themselves: add one topic to the repository on GitHub and the app appears in the store for everyone, ready to install and to keep up to date.

There is nothing to sign up for and nobody to ask. No developer account, no submission form, no review queue, no fees and no metadata files to maintain.

What's new

v1.13.0Nov 14, 2026

An app can now be shared as a link, and its earlier versions are a tap away.
Share in an app's details gives out a link to the app. On a phone with ARK-Store the link opens the app's page in the store; anywhere else it opens a page of the store's new site, that tells where the app and the store are found • Earlier versions in an app's details: up to three versions before the newest one, for apps from GitHub, Codeberg and GitLab. With root on, the version you choose is installed in place of the one installed. Without root its file is saved in Download/ARK-Store; when the installed version is newer, the app has to be uninstalled first, as Android does not install an older version over a newer one • After going back with root, the update to the newest version stays on offer, but the background check no longer installs it by itself: it is installed when you ask for it • The button that opens an app's page names the place the page is on, GitHub, Codeberg or GitLab, or says that it opens the project's page • A link to an app the lists do not have says so, on whichever page is open
Without root the store downloads ARK-Store-1.13.0.apk into Download/ARK-Store and you install it from the Files app; with root on it installs the update itself. If Play Protect blocks it, please cancel and report the app version and your device. Don't turn protection off or choose Install anyway.
