About ObtainX

ObtainX is a modern, supercharged fork of Obtainium. Re-engineered with a stunning Material 3 Expressive UI and power-user utilities that make managing your apps effortless. Get updates straight from the source: GitHub, GitLab, F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, APKMirror, APKPure, and more. No central repository, no account, no tracking. 🚀

━━ ✨ UNIQUE FEATURES (not in Obtainium) ━━

• Build Verification — cryptographic checks (F-Droid/Izzy reproducible builds and GitHub Release Attestations) flag manipulated binaries before install. ObtainX's own updates carry GitHub attestations too.

• Third-Party Installer Support — hand off updates to installers like InstallerX or App Manager to review APK metadata the stock installer hides. Essential under Advanced Protection.

• Bulk Import from Device — select apps already on your phone and ObtainX finds their sources automatically — no URL hunting.

• Dynamic Folders — named folders, manual or rule-based (by name, author, package ID, category, or source); each keeps its own layout.

• On-Demand Only mode — hide rarely-updated apps from the main list and skip them in global scans; check them only when you want.

• Configurable swipe gestures — independent left/right actions per row: Update, Install, Pin, Edit, Delete, and more.

• Custom app icons — set your own icon for any app, from your gallery or the web.

• Undo after delete — swipe- and bulk-delete show a 5-second Undo snackbar.

• Verified "also available on" links — each app shows other stores where it's confirmed present.

• RegEx Assist — a built-in helper walks you through building version and APK filters — no regex knowledge required.

• Know the update size beforehand — see the exact download size before updating.

• Skip Version — pass on a release without marking the app "updated."

• Stop download — cancel any ongoing download from the app, notification, or queue.

• Save assets — save downloaded APKs to a folder of your choice during the update.

━━ 🔧 ENHANCED FEATURES ━━

• APKMirror updates — enabled (disabled upstream), opening the specific release page.

• Smarter version status — six distinct states instead of a binary update / up-to-date.

• Add App — three paths, one screen — URL, Search, and From Device under one segmented control, results inline.
