icon 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.
Editable package ID for track-only sources — restores correct install detection and updates.
Active filter chips — a dismissible chip per active filter; tap to clear it.
Category customization — any color, rename, and bulk assign.

━━ 🎨 UI & UX ━━

Adaptive tablet, foldable & landscape layout — on large screens a navigation rail replaces the bottom bar and your app list sits side-by-side with the detail page, opening apps in place. Adding and bulk-importing go two-pane too, and adapt in landscape — so big phones and foldables benefit, not just tablets.
Material 3 Expressive across every screen — cards, fluid animations, expressive controls.
A full theme engine — system/light/dark/AMOLED themes, Material You or any hex color, 9 palette algorithms, shading, gradients, progressive blur, corner roundness, and UI scale.
Per-app color theming derived from each app's own icon.
Customizable app rows — app type, source, and category at a glance, as text badges or minimal color strips.
• Hero icon transitions, inline collapsible search, inline edit on the detail page, source favicon badges, and auto-hiding action bars.

━━ 🔄 BRING YOUR DATA FROM OBTAINIUM ━━
In Obtainium, export your app list to a .json file (Import/Export → Export). In ObtainX, open the Backup tab and Import it — your tracked apps populate instantly.

━━ 🛡️ FREE & OPEN SOURCE ━━
Free and open-source software (GPLv3). Runs entirely on-device — no accounts, no telemetry, no proprietary services.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
