SideStore is then further enhanced to remove the need to have AltServer (or SideServer) and computer turned on while refreshing or installing sideloaded apps. Like I mentioned above, SideStore is a direct fork from AltStore.

How is SideStore different from AltStore? In case you want to join/contribute to the community, do check: SideStore github page Credit and kudos to r/BelugaWhqle who write and share the original steps for installing SideStore via Windows on Reddit thread. This guide is made based on this Reddit thread: Guide on how to install SideStore (windows only) on Reddit. So thanks to the people (Joe Mattiello, Jackson Coxson, JJTech, Stern, Joshua Laymon and perhaps bunch of other people) who are making this thing happen (willing to enhance the sideloading methods), now it’s my turn to give back to the community by at least writing this detailed step by step guidelines in a very “beginner” way, so everyone can follow the steps for the untethered sideloading. In case it’s important for you, SideStore is a direct fork from AltStore. Untethered means computer is no longer required to install or refresh the sideloaded apps (however as a caveat, you will still need a computer at least for the initial setup, until SideStore is up and running on your iPhone).

In short, SideStore is an untethered version of AltStore.
