FFUpdater is an open-source Android app that installs and keeps privacy-friendly browsers (Firefox variants, Brave, Cromite, Tor Browser, and more) plus a few other apps up to date. It checks for updates in the background and can update apps without user interaction on Android 12+, rooted devices, or via Shizuku/Sui.
Use cases
- keep firefox and brave updated on android automatically
- update privacy browsers without google play
- background app updates on a rooted android phone
- install firefox focus and klar from one app
- update apps silently with shizuku
- download latest tor browser apk on android
When to choose
- you use privacy-focused browsers on Android and want them always current
- you avoid Google Play and want a FOSS updater available on F-Droid
- you have Android 12+, root, or Shizuku and want unattended updates
When to avoid
- you only use apps from Google Play and are happy with Play Store updates
- you need to update arbitrary apps outside FFUpdater's supported list
- you are on iOS or a non-Android platform
