Obtainium is an Android application that checks for updates directly from source repositories and downloads the latest APKs. It supports many sources such as GitHub, GitLab, F-Droid, and various third‑party app stores.
Use cases
- check for updates of installed Android apps
- automatically download the latest APK from a GitHub release
- receive notifications when a new version of an app is available
- manage and install apps from multiple sources on Android
- track updates for apps that are not on Google Play
When to choose
- you want updates directly from the original source rather than a store
- you prefer a privacy‑focused, open‑source solution
- you need to handle apps from many different repositories
- you want to share or import crowdsourced app configurations
When to avoid
- you require deep integration with Google Play services
- you need automatic updates for apps that require root access
- you prefer a single‑store solution with built‑in payment handling
