# Obtainium Get Android App Updates Directly From the Source. Obtainium allows you to install and update Open-Source Apps directly from their GitHub or GitLab releases, and receive notifications when new releases are made available. Motivation: [Side Of Burritos - You should use this instead of F-Droid | How to use app RSS feed](https://youtu.be/FFz57zNR_M0) ***Work In Progress - Currently Unusable.*** ## Limitations - App installs are assumed to have succeeded; failures and cancelled installs cannot be detected. - Apps that are already installed are not indicated as such, since GitHub and GitLab do not provide App IDs (like `org.example.app`) to allow for comparisons. - Auto (unattended) updates are unsupported due to a lack of any capable Flutter plugin.
