WhatAn independent, transparent malware scanning and signing service for sideloaded Android apps that gives users trust signals without requiring Google's verification infrastructure.
SignalUsers who sideload apps face a real security problem — Google's own data shows 90x more malware in sideloaded sources — but they reject Google's solution because it comes bundled with surveillance and control over what software they can run on their own devices. They want security without the loss of autonomy.
Why NowGoogle's developer verification system is creating a forced binary: accept full Google control or go completely unprotected. A trusted third-party verification layer fills the gap at exactly the moment millions of users are looking for alternatives to Google's app distribution.
MarketAlternative Android app stores (F-Droid, Obtainium, Zapstore), open-source app developers, and enterprise sideloading use cases; B2B SaaS model selling to app stores and device makers. No credible independent player exists in this space today.
MoatTrust and reputation as the independent verification standard; network effects as more app stores and developers adopt the signing infrastructure; scanning data improves detection over time.
Automated Supply Chain Attack Detection for Package RegistriesP7/10A real-time monitoring service that detects compromised packages on npm, PyPI, crates.io, and other registries by analyzing behavioral anomalies like credential-bypassed publishes, injected phantom dependencies, and suspicious postinstall scripts.
Zero-Trust Dependency Firewall for Development EnvironmentsC7/10A local proxy that intercepts all package installs, enforces configurable quarantine periods, blocks postinstall scripts by default, and provides a unified policy layer across npm, pip, cargo, and Go modules.
Dependency Security Copilot for AI Coding AgentsC8/10A plugin for LLM coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot Workspace) that intercepts dependency operations, validates packages against threat intelligence, and prevents agents from blindly installing or upgrading to compromised versions.
Managed Dependency Mirror with Built-In QuarantineC7/10A hosted private registry proxy that mirrors npm, PyPI, and crates.io with an automatic 72-hour quarantine on all new publishes, behavioral analysis scanning, and instant rollback — so teams never pull a package version less than 3 days old.
AI Code Provenance and Supply Chain AuditingP6/10A platform that scans npm packages, PyPI modules, and other registries for accidentally leaked source maps, prompts, API keys, and internal business logic — alerting maintainers before attackers find them.
AI Authorship Detection for Code ContributionsC6/10A tool that integrates with GitHub/GitLab to probabilistically flag whether a pull request or commit was written by an AI agent, giving maintainers transparency without relying on self-disclosure.
