INDEPENDENCE IS A FEATURE

Good apps.
More freedom.

Get Sideloaded is an independent directory of installable web apps. Each app is hosted by its developer; we check it, review it, and help you install it.

01

Find

Browse or search apps from independent creators. Every listing shows whether it installs and works offline.

02

Open

Tap "Open" to launch the app straight from its developer's website — nothing to download from us.

03

Install

iPhone: Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen. Android: Chrome → Install. Each listing walks you through it.

Good to know

Is this a native app store?

No. Get Sideloaded lists Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). Installing adds the app to your home screen through your browser. It does not install native binaries or bypass your device's security.

What does "Installable" mean on a listing?

Our scanner confirmed the app has a valid manifest, app name, start URL, standalone display and 192px + 512px icons — what browsers require to install it. We re-check listed apps twice a day.

Do apps work offline?

Only when the developer added a service worker. Listings marked "Works offline" have one.

Can apps send notifications on iPhone?

Yes, on iOS 16.4 and later — but only after the app has been added to your Home Screen, and only if the developer supports it and you allow it.

Do apps cost money?

All listings are free during launch. Some apps may offer their own subscriptions, handled by the developer.

How do I report an app?

Email hello@getsideload.com with the listing link. We review reports within one business day.

I'm a developer — how do I get listed?

Run the free check on the developer page, fix anything it flags with the prompt it gives you, then submit. Reviews take up to 24 hours.
