Obtainium

Obtainium is a tool that allows you to get and update Android apps directly from the developer in an automated way.

It supports apps that are provided as .apk by the devs on Github and many other sites like Gitlab, Codeberg and even Signal and Telegram official websites.

This allows the fastest possible updates directly after release and makes additional app stores for many FOSS apps unnecessary.

Since this is a good app and well developed it caries some security considerations to take in consideration

For example a mistake update can lead you to lose important data on your device besides what app is getting the bad update the developer can make a mistake for example or the developer github account can be hacked and the bad actors can serve a malicious apk targing with this way millions of devices include yours

You need to think carefully do you need so urgent updates for your apps? Do you need one more app installed?
