Discover New Apps

AltStore is an app store designed for sideloading. Every app in AltStore gets a beautifully generated store page with detailed information to make sideloading fun and easy. Browse apps from trusted developers, or add additional “sources” to further increase your options.

Self-Published Apps

Anyone can distribute their apps with AltStore. All you need is to make a “source”, which you can do by hosting a text file with basic information about your apps. Users can then enter your source URL in AltStore and your apps will automatically appear.

Follow the complete AltStore guide to create your own source and start distributing your apps in minutes.

Federated Apps

Developers can automatically federate their apps, app updates, and news alerts to the AltStore ActivityPub server explore.alt.store for better discoverability, which are then bridged to the ATmosphere via Bridgy Fed.

Users can view all likes on these from across the social web directly in AltStore, and connect their Mastodon or Bluesky accounts to like them in-app.
