apkeep is a Rust command-line tool for downloading APK files from sources like APKPure, Google Play, F-Droid, and Huawei AppGallery. It supports downloading specific versions, listing available versions, and batch downloads.

Use cases

  • download an apk from apkpure without credentials
  • fetch an app directly from the google play store with an aas token
  • download open-source apps from f-droid mirrors
  • download a specific version of an android app
  • list available versions of an apk package
  • batch download apks for archiving or analysis

When to choose

  • you need to download APKs from multiple stores via one CLI tool
  • you want to archive or mirror specific app versions
  • you need a scriptable, credential-flexible APK fetcher

When to avoid

  • you need a graphical app store client
  • you want to install or update apps on a device, not just download files
  • you need iOS or desktop app packages
