Orion installs apps straight from their developers' public releases on GitHub, GitLab and Codeberg. The catalog is open JSON, the code is GPL-3.0, and there's no account, no Orion server and no tracker in between.
Latest release 1.5.0 · The Monolith Update
Figures as of Oct 6, 2026.
Most app stores are a stack of servers you're asked to trust. Orion took the stack out and kept only what you can read.
Ghost Branch Protocol. State lives in a self-cleaning git branch that works as a key-value store.
The menu, not the chef. Catalog headers are pre-computed static JSON, so the app reads files instead of calling an API and stays clear of rate limits.
Issues as a queue. Leaderboard scores and reviews travel through GitHub Issues, where anyone can see them.
Nothing to report. No analytics and no telemetry. Threat scanning runs on your phone.
The logo is Orion's Belt. Each star is a layer you can check for yourself.
Catalog
The catalog lives in the Orion-Data repository. Anyone can read it, diff it or open a pull request against it.

Orion resolves each build from its own release page, matched by the release keyword in its catalog entry. The app shows you which repository a download came from.
Device
The APK installs through Android's own package installer, or silently through Shizuku if you turn it on. Sentinel can scan it on the device first.

More than a thousand apps, filterable by platform and category, with pending updates and favourites a tap away. Every listing points back to the repository it came from.

Release intelligence parses GitHub, GitLab and Codeberg, reads the public JSON and picks the asset that fits your device's architecture. The source button on every page goes to the real repository.

Orion checks the versions you have installed against upstream releases and queues what's newer. Downloads wait in the queue, ready to install when you are.

Sentinel scans installed apps and downloaded APKs against threat signatures stored on the device, in shards. Rapid scan for apps, deep scan for storage, and an audit of network connections.

Answers from the developer, as they appear in the app.
Orion Store is completely open source. The code is public on GitHub for anyone to audit: no hidden trackers, no data mining, just a clean gateway to apps.
Apps are reviewed and modded by the developer using the tools on their official repositories, to make sure they're safe, functional and privacy-respecting before they land in the store.
They're built by GitHub Actions, not patched by hand. The pipeline runs the Morphe patches against APKs from APKMirror, Uptodown and APKPure every day at 06:00 UTC, and all of it is public in Morphe-AutoBuilds.
“App not installed” or “package conflicts” almost always means a signature mismatch. You can't install a modded app over the Play Store version or over a different mod. Uninstall the existing app first, then install the one from Orion.
Open the app's detail page and tap the Report icon in the top-right corner. It pre-fills an email so the link gets fixed quickly. You can also open an issue.
As long as there are open-source or useful tools that deserve a spotlight, the library keeps growing. You can request one from inside the app and earn XP for it.
Android 7.0 (API 24) and newer. Orion targets Android 15 (API 35), and the store also lists PC and TV apps.
Where the Architect stares, the secret sleeps.
Count the legs of a spider. Count the vertices of a cube.
Strike the Visage that many times.
The Golden Truth awaits those who know the rules… and so do I.
