Obtainium is one that I have been using for over a week now. It keeps all my FOSS apps up to date. I have 30 apps added now, and 80% of them are now updated directly from their github page!

I would love to know what apps you have added to it!

[–] DigitalPortkey@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I use Obtanium to keep Liftoff and Thunder up to date, since the updates come faster than they do from the Play Store :) Very easy to set up...even if you originally installed from the Play Store, you can still use Obtanium to update going forward.

Heres the list

And I just added AntennaPod, Vinyl Music Player, Lawnchair, and Liftoff to the list as well!

Bitwardens auto sync uses push notifications through Google services, so I'd recommend play store for that one if you use multiple devices.

I don't use bitwarden for much besides copying/pasting my passwords on my phone. I figure its better than memorizing a single password like I used to!

How did you manage to add breezy-weather? It complains that it can't find a suitable release for me if I try to add the repo url directly

[–] thenoseknowsall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You have to use the include pre-releases option with Breezy.

[–] the_vale@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Worked like a charm, thanks!

The easiest way is to look at your Installed apps through F-Droid as it will show both apps installed through F-Droid and apps from the Play Store that are available through F-Droid. You can copy-paste each source link into Obtainium.

No I know, I was asking what apps they're updating through Obtanium.
