It’s more secure than F-Droid. It’s still in a pretty early stage of development though and currently only offers a handful of apps.

  • App signing key pinning: first-time app installs are verified so you don’t have to TOFU.
  • Signed repository metadata: repository contents are protected against malicious tampering.
  • Automatic, unattended, unprivileged updates (Android 12+): updates are handled seamlessly without relying on privileged OS integration.
  • First-class support for split APKs: downloaded APKs are optimized for your device to save bandwidth.
  • No remote APK signing: developers are in full control of their app signing keys.
