This document is an overview on how the Pocketbyte App Store works and how you can publish your own apps.
If you haven’t already, please read the previous section titled “App Format” to understand how apps are packaged on Pocketbyte. What is the App Store?
The Pocketbyte App Store is a program that enables you to download new apps, games, and other files straight from your device—no USB cable required, just a Wi-Fi connection.
App Store Database
The App Store Database is the GitHub repo which stores all of the apps and other files fetched by the App Store.
How do I Publish my Apps?
After packaging your app as a bundle with all of the necessary files, you can open a Pull Request on the App Store Database to add your app bundle to the list.
Just a heads up, apps may be rejected if they are low quality to avoid bloating the database. For example, a “hello world” program that doesn’t really do anything might get rejected because it’s not an actual app, just a copy-and-paste of a coding example. Last modified on July 2, 2026
