How It Works

your handle is reserved permanently
02

Drop Your Build

Why Indie Developers Switch

Say goodbye to outdated drive folders and broken links.

The Clunky Way

  • removeDrive links hit download quotas and trigger false warnings.
  • removeOutdated APK builds circulate indefinitely in chat groups.
  • removeManual link editing across Reddit, GitHub, and social bios.
  • removeInstalled users never get notified of hotfixes.
High friction & lost user retention.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do my download links change when I push an update?

Never. Your permanent URL always resolves to the build you marked as current. No need to update website buttons, bios, or README files.

Do end-users need to sign up to download?

No. Visitors tap once and the file starts downloading from our dedicated download domain. Release pages set no cookies and show no ads.

Which files can I distribute?

.apk and .zip packages, up to 1 GB per file on the free plan and 5 GB on Pro — up to 10 stored builds per app on free, 100 on Pro. When you hit the limit, the oldest build is retired automatically.

Can I use my own release page design?

Yes. Upload your own HTML and the platform injects the download logic into it — add the apprelease-download-action class to your button, and use the {{version}} and {{sha256}} placeholders. See the documentation.

How do users verify what they downloaded?

Every package gets a SHA256 checksum, computed while it uploads and shown in the release page and console. We do not scan packages for malware, so publish only what you built and point users at the checksum.

How does billing work?

Payments are handled by Stripe. Subscribe, change plans or cancel from the billing page in the console — Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
