🏪 WhiteStore — Clean RuStore Client for Android

WhiteStore is a lightweight, open-source Android client for browsing and downloading apps from RuStore. Built with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Material 3 Expressive, it offers a modern store experience without mandatory sign-in, advertising, tracking SDKs, or unnecessary background services.

🔒 Network & Privacy

WhiteStore accesses RuStore's public API endpoints without requiring a private API key or RuStore account.

Android's system certificate store is not modified, and unrelated device traffic is not intercepted.

The project describes itself as free from ads, trackers, and intrusive services.
