APKUpdater is an open-source Android app that finds updates for installed apps by aggregating results from multiple sources like APKMirror, Aptoide, F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, APKPure, GitLab, GitHub, and Google Play. It supports background update checks with notifications, direct and root installs, and is built with Jetpack Compose, Flow, and WorkManager.
Use cases
- find updates for installed android apps without play store
- aggregate app updates from apkmirror and fdroid
- schedule background update checks on android
- install apk updates without user interaction
- search for new apps across multiple apk sources
- avoid ads and tracking when updating apps
- update apps on android tv
When to choose
- you want a single app to check updates across multiple APK sources
- you use F-Droid or sideloaded apps and want centralized update checks
- you want an ad-free, privacy-respecting updater on Android 5-14 or Android TV
When to avoid
- you only use Google Play and are happy with its built-in updater
- you need an iOS or desktop update manager
- you want a library to embed update checking in your own app
