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.
Currently supported App sources:
- GitHub
- GitLab
Motivation: [Side Of Burritos - You should use this instead of F-Droid | How to use app RSS feed](https://youtu.be/FFz57zNR_M0)
## 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 GitHub, data is gathered using Web scraping and can easily break due to changes in website design. More reliable methods are either insufficient (GitHub RSS) or subject to rate limits (GitHub API). This may also apply to new sources added in the future.
