Safe Haven

SafeHaven is an Android app store that is focused on trust, source visibility, and very clear app metadata. Apps can be linked to their source repositories, verified against developer ownership, scanned before release, and rechecked after being made available.

What is SafeHaven?

SafeHaven is an Android app distribution platform built around transparency. Instead of using the 'trust me bro' methology, SafeHaven aims to show where the app comes from, whether the source has been verified, and if it has passed all malware checks.

Trust layers

- Source linked

Apps can include a public source repository.

- Verified Source

The developer proves control of the linked repository by adding a .safehaven file in that repo during setup.

- Unverified listings

Community or imported apps can be listed without claiming developer ownership.

- APK scanning

Submitted APKs are scanned before they are approved.

- Rechecks

Apps can be rescanned after release to keep metadata fresh.

App submissions

- Developers can register and manage their apps. SafeHaven checks submitted APKs through its scan pipeline before they become available in the public catalog. - Community/imported listings are kept separate from verified developer listings.
