Been using this for months and never hear anyone talk about it. Faster updates than from F-Droid is nice.

    I’ve heard only good things about it, but haven’t tried it myself. Mostly due to laziness finding the sources of my f-droid apps. How quickly do you usually see update notifications after a new release drops OP?

      The F-Droid page for any app has a Links section under the app description. Expand that, and the Source Code link is usually the GitHub (or whatever) link you want for the app.

      As for update notifications, you set the “Update Checking Interval” in the Obtainium settings (default is every 6 hours). So whenever a new APK gets added to an app’s GitHub, Obtainium will notify you of it the next time it scans for updates.

        Cool beans! What’s the update workflow like? I’m assuming update Notification > click something > app downloads in background > gives you prompt to install > updated? I read that there’s no unattended updates currently, not an issue for me but worth noting I suppose.
