Sideloading for everyone. AltStore is an app marketplace built for independent developers, so the apps Apple will not carry still have somewhere to live on your iPhone and iPad.

A better way to sideload.
Screenshots, version history and release notes, laid out properly. Sideloading should not mean guessing what you are about to install.
Start with verified developers, then paste in any source URL to widen the catalogue as far as you like.
Check exactly what an app is asking for from its store page, and get told automatically when that changes.
AltStore PAL installs notarised apps straight from your device. No Apple ID, no seven-day countdown, no three-app ceiling.
Discover new apps
Emulators, virtual machines, game clients and tools from developers who build the things the App Store turns away.
Host a small source file describing your apps, share the URL, and anyone who adds it sees your work appear in their AltStore.
2024
AltStore PAL opened in the European Union in April 2024, the first Apple-approved alternative app marketplace to reach iPhone users, launching alongside Delta and Clip.
€0
An Epic MegaGrant covers Apple's Core Technology Fee on our behalf, so the annual charge AltStore PAL launched with is gone and the marketplace is free.

100%
