Security & Verification

What AppMintly Verifies

• Official release links. Every download on an app detail page points to the publisher's official GitHub release, never a re-uploaded copy.
• SHA-256 checksums. Android releases list a SHA-256 checksum so you can confirm that the file you downloaded is byte-for-byte the published release.
• Transparent versions. Version history, release notes, and update times are shown on each detail page — nothing is hidden behind a version bump.
• Repository-verified publishers. Publisher identities are tied to their public repositories, and each has a public publisher page.
• PWA status. Web apps show an honest verification status (PWA Ready, PWA Metadata Found, or Web App Only) instead of a blanket "verified" badge.

Verify a Download Yourself

On the app's detail page, copy the SHA-256 checksum, then compare it against your downloaded file. On Windows run certutil -hashfile file.apk SHA256, on macOS/Linux shasum -a 256 file.apk. If the two values match, the file is exactly the published release.

Honest Limits

AppMintly does not run automated malware scanning, dynamic analysis, or sandbox testing, and it does not claim to. Verification here means traceable sources and reproducible checksums — where each file came from and whether your copy matches it. For runtime protection, keep Google Play Protect (or your device's scanner) enabled, and only install software you actually intended to download. See the App Install Help page for practical steps, and the Privacy Policy for data practices.

Found Something Wrong?

If a checksum does not match or a link looks suspicious, report it through the Report an Issue page.
