🔍 Orion does not have any trackers!

Saw a few people asking about "trackers" flagged in App Manager or TrackerControl, so wanted to clear up what those actually are.

What they actually are:

- Scanners flag library components by name, not active surveillance.
- Everything flagged comes from one library, the Unity Ads SDK behind the optional "Fuel the Code" quest.
- Since 2.4.5 Orion strips everything from it that Fuel the Code does not need: its app-start hook, its background service, and the advertising ID and ad-measurement permissions. What is left is FullScreenWebViewDisplay, the screen that plays the video you chose to watch.

How it works in Orion:

- Unity only starts when you tap to watch a rewarded video in "Fuel the Code" for XP. It never runs at app start.
- There are zero background services, no banner ads, and no advertising ID. Orion collects and sends no user data.
- If you do not care about the rewarded XP quest, you can block it right there in App Manager. The store will still work completely fine.




  
    
    
  


  Orion Store 2.0 · Native at last

Orion Store has been rebuilt from the ground up as a native Android app. The web app has been rewritten in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Material 3 Expressive, with spring motion, shape morphing, a new storefront and features that were never possible before. Updating from 1.x is a normal install over the old app, and your profile, XP, badges, favorites and settings come along.

  Overview

Orion Store is an Android-first store client that leans on public sources instead of hiding everything behind a private service layer. The app pulls catalog data from public JSON, resolves releases from GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg, and keeps the delivery path understandable enough that users can see where things come from and how updates are discovered.

This repository is the client application itself. The live catalog, configuration, notices, and release metadata used by the app are maintained separately in RookieEnough/Orion-Data, which keeps the UI and the store data cleanly separated.

 Orion is built for people who care where software comes from, not just how quickly it downloads.

At a glance:

- Public JSON catalog with inspectable configuration
- Multi-source releases (GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg)
- Native install, update, and security tooling
- Skip Android's 24-hour unverified-app wait with built-in wireless install

 Orbit and Obtainium

Orbit follows an app from the page it is published on and installs the file that page offers. Following a source that way is the same idea as Obtainium by Imran Remtulla. Orion is a separate app. It does not include Obtainium's code. Th
