Freedom Tech on Nostr: ...
Obtainium is available via IzzyOnDroid or GitHub and let's you search for apps directly, or you can enter a URL to an app's project, where it grabs the latest APK, and installs it. Then it will check periodically for updates & install those as soon as they pop up.
It is the fastest way to get the latest version of an app, & completely bypasses all the app stores.
This can be good or bad. Good because you get apps you can't get anywhere else, and the latest versions sooner. Bad because you don't have anyone verifying the safeness of the file.
FFUpdater does the same with web browsers and OrBot. If you use Obtainium for other apps, you can use it for your browsers as well, and get rid of FFUpdater to free up resources.
Obtainium supports many App sources, including but not limited to:
- GitHub
- GitLab
- IzzyOnDroid
- F-Droid
- APKPure
- APKMirror
Obtainium is in pre-release, & isn't the most user friendly app, so it may take a while to learn. Don't give up!
