Zapstore is an app-discovery and distribution project available for Android. It presents a catalog-based alternative to a single centrally controlled app store, with releases signed by developers and users choosing which catalogs to trust. Its site also describes direct communication with app developers through comments, ideas and tips.
The project publishes its source repository and provides developer-facing publishing information. Its current homepage distinguishes available Android access from future platform plans and labels some interface imagery as a preview of a coming version. Developer signatures help identify the source of a release and detect changes to it, but they do not by themselves establish that an application is safe. Users still need to judge the developer, requested permissions and catalog they choose.
