Obtainium
Installs and updates Android apps directly from their makers' pages.
Instead of Google Play
Screenshot from obtainium.imranr.dev, taken 2026-10-23, shown to help you recognise the tool. It belongs to its maker. Ask us to remove it.
Obtainium gets apps from where their developers publish them, such as GitHub, and keeps them updated, with no store in the middle. It needs no account.
It asks you to know where an app is published, and it is mostly one developer's project, so Longevity and Delivery are a 3 each.
