Legacy Store is a metadata-only preservation archive for classic iPhone and iPad apps, helping users explore earlier versions of software and browse the history of the mobile app ecosystem. Its collection brings together archived app listings, version counts, developer and publisher information, bundle identifiers, and historical chart performance. Visitors can search the archive or explore featured apps, charts, categories, and curated collections, including selections tied to events and periods such as the 2010 Apple Design Awards, WWDC 2010, and top apps from September 2011.

The catalog includes familiar games and services such as Angry Birds, Minecraft: Pocket Edition, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Skype, and Netflix, with records showing when titles reached notable chart positions. Legacy Store is designed to help people browse and install archived versions directly on older iOS devices. The app binaries are hosted by the Internet Archive rather than by Legacy Store; the site provides metadata and links to the preserved material. The archive also offers contribution information, statistics, an API, and source access.
