# ![Obtainium Icon](./android/app/src/main/res/drawable/ic_notification.png) Obtainium
Get Android App Updates Directly From the Source.
Obtainium allows you to install and update Open-Source Apps directly from their releases pages, 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)
Currently supported App sources:
- [GitHub](https://github.com/)
- [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/)
- [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/)
- [IzzyOnDroid](https://android.izzysoft.de/)
- [Mullvad](https://mullvad.net/en/)
- [Signal](https://signal.org/)
## Limitations
- App installs are assumed to have succeeded; failures and cancelled installs cannot be detected.
- Auto (unattended) updates are unsupported due to a lack of any capable Flutter plugin.
- For some sources, data is gathered using Web scraping and can easily break due to changes in website design. In such cases, more reliable methods may be unavailable.
