GitHub Store is an open-source, cross-platform app (Android + Desktop) that turns GitHub releases into a real app-store experience. Instead of digging through release pages, GitHub Store: Shows only repositories with real installable binaries (APK, EXE, DMG, AppImage, DEB, RPM) Automatically detects your platform and surfaces the correct installer Always installs from the latest published release Displays changelogs, README, stats, and developer info in a clean UI Why this matters No centralized app store control No ads, no tracking, no telemetry Fully transparent: installs come directly from developers’ GitHub releases Great for discovering privacy-respecting and open-source alternatives Features at a glance Trending / Recently Updated / New projects Platform-aware app discovery Update tracking (Android) Material 3 design (Android + Desktop) Optional GitHub login only for higher API limits Fully open source (Apache-2.0) Download GitHub (releases): https://github.com/rainxchzed/Github-Store F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/zed.rainxch.githubstore/ If you’re trying to escape closed ecosystems and want more control over where your apps come from, this is a project worth checking out

Over the last few years I’ve been slowly de-Googling my digital life. One thing I noticed is how hard it is for newcomers to find trustworthy, privacy-respecting alternatives.

So I put together a curated list of tools I personally use and trust, plus some great recommendations I discovered here.

A few examples:

• Email: Proton Mail, Tuta • Messaging: Signal, Element • Cloud storage: Nextcloud, CryptPad • Other tools: GrapheneOS, Mullvad VPN, Bitwarden

I’m sharing this mainly to help newcomers — not as a definitive list.

👉 What’s ONE privacy tool you think everyone should know about?
