Open by default
If something matters to how the store works, it should be public. Code, app data and automation all live where you can read them.
About us
About Orion Store
A small, open project with one clear goal: an app store you can trust because you can check every part of it.
Why Orion exists
Most app stores work like a closed box. You tap a button, a file shows up, and you never really know where it came from or who decided what you get to see.
Orion Store was made to work differently. The app list is plain public data. Apps are fetched from the creators' public release pages. The code that ties it all together is open for anyone to read. If you want to know how something works, you can look.
That openness does not come at the cost of comfort. Orion still feels like a real store, with a clean design, one-tap installs, smart updates and helpful safety checks.
What we stand for
Your device, your call
You pick the apps, the installer and the update rules. Orion gives you the tools and stays out of the way.
Simple and fast
A small download, quick screens and plain words. Good software should feel light and friendly to use.
Made with the community
Many apps in the catalogue were submitted by users. Bug reports and ideas from people like you shape every release.
How Orion got here
36 releases since November 2025, and it keeps going.
-
November 2025
The first release
Orion Store 1.0 launched as a web-based app. It brought cleaned-up builds and open-source tools together in one tidy place.
-
Late 2025 to 2026
Growing up
Each update added something new: Sentinel security checks, custom app bundles, a leaderboard, Shizuku installs and lots more.
-
October 2026
Orion 2.0 goes native
The whole app was rebuilt from scratch in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose with Material 3 Expressive. It became faster, smoother and able to do much more.
-
November 6, 2026
Version 2.7.5 and beyond
Orbit, the built-in APK installer, and new safety tools arrived. Work goes on, with new versions shipping often.
Who makes Orion
Orion Store is built by RookieEnough, also known as RookieZ, an independent developer who wanted a cleaner and more honest way to get apps. There is no company and no investors behind it. The project is kept alive by the people who use it, report bugs, send in apps and chip in when they can.

How the pieces fit together
- The app lives in the Orion-Store repo. It is a native Android app.
- The catalogue lives in the Orion-Data repo. It holds the app list, settings and notices as simple JSON files.
- Automation runs as public GitHub workflows. They build releases and keep the catalogue and download mirrors fresh.
- A few small helpers run on Cloudflare for things a phone cannot do alone, like the leaderboard. Their code is public too.
Thank you
Orion stands on the shoulders of other great open source work. A big thanks to:
- Shizuku by RikkaApps, for silent installs and the power tools.
- Dhizuku by iamr0s, for device owner installs.
- Universal Android Debloater Next Generation by the UAD team, for the notes and safety ratings behind Debloat.
- Install with Options by Zachary Wander, for the idea for advanced install options.
- Obtainium by Imran Remtulla, for the idea of following apps from their source, which Orbit builds on.
Orion Store is its own app. It does not contain Obtainium code. The name is only used so Obtainium lists and links can be imported.
