Obtainium is an Android app that installs and updates applications directly from their release pages on sources like GitHub, GitLab, and F-Droid, notifying users when new releases are available. It supports dozens of app sources with configurable filters and lets users import/export and share app configurations.
Use cases
- get android app updates straight from the source
- install apk updates from github releases
- replace f-droid with direct source updates
- track apk releases across multiple app stores
- receive notifications when new app versions are released
- avoid play store and update apps privately
When to choose
- you want to install and update FOSS Android apps directly from developer release pages
- you want update notifications without relying on Google Play or F-Droid build delays
- you need to track apps across many sources like GitHub, GitLab, APKPure, or itch.io
When to avoid
- you need a curated, vetted app store with automatic security review
- you only use apps available on Google Play and want a managed update experience
- you need iOS or desktop app updates - it is Android-only
