About this app

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. ๐Ÿš€

โ”โ” โœจ UNIQUE FEATURES (not in Obtainium) โ”โ”

โ€ข Build Verification โ€” cryptographic checks (F-Droid/Izzy reproducible builds and GitHub Release Attestations) flag manipulated binaries before install. ObtainX's own updates carry GitHub attestations too. โ€ข Third-Party Installer Support โ€” hand off updates to installers like InstallerX or App Manager to review APK metadata the stock installer hides. Essential under Advanced Protection. โ€ข Bulk Import from Device โ€” select apps already on your phone and ObtainX finds their sources automatically โ€” no URL hunting. โ€ข Dynamic Folders โ€” named folders, manual or rule-based (by name, author, package ID, category, or source); each keeps its own layout. โ€ข On-Demand Only mode โ€” hide rarely-updated apps from the main list and skip them in global scans; check them only when you want. โ€ข Configurable swipe gestures โ€” independent left/right actions per row: Update, Install, Pin, Edit, Delete, and more. โ€ข Custom app icons โ€” set your own icon for any app, from your gallery or the web. โ€ข Undo after delete โ€” swipe- and bulk-delete show a 5-second Undo snackbar. โ€ข Verified "also available on" links โ€” each app shows other stores where it's confirmed present. โ€ข RegEx Assist โ€” a built-in helper walks you through building version and APK filters โ€” no regex knowledge required. โ€ข Know the update size beforehand โ€” see the exact download size before updating. โ€ข Skip Version โ€” pass on a release without marking the app "updated." โ€ข Stop download โ€” cancel any ongoing download from the app, notification, or queue. โ€ข Save assets โ€” save downloaded APKs to a folder of your choice during the update.

โ”โ” ๐Ÿ”ง ENHANCED FEATURES โ”โ”

โ€ข APKMirror updates โ€” enabled (disabled upstream), opening the specific release page. โ€ข Smarter version status โ€” six distinct states instead of a binary update / up-to-date. โ€ข Add App โ€” three paths, one screen โ€” URL, Search, and From Device under one segmented control, results inline. โ€ข Editable package ID for track-only sources โ€” restores correct install detection and updates. โ€ข Active filter chips โ€” a dismissible chip per active filter; tap to clear it. โ€ข Category customization โ€” any color, rename, and bulk assign.

โ”โ” ๐ŸŽจ UI & UX โ”โ”

โ€ข Adaptive tablet, foldable & landscape layout โ€” 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 โ€” so big phones and foldables benefit, not just tablets. โ€ข Material 3 Expressive across every screen โ€” cards, fluid animations, expressive controls. โ€ข A full theme engine โ€” system/light/dark/AMOLED themes, Material You or any hex color, 9 palette algorithms, shading, gradients, progressive blur, corner roundness, and UI scale. โ€ข Per-app color theming derived from each app's own icon. โ€ข Customizable app rows โ€” app type, source, and category at a glance, as text badges or minimal color strips. โ€ข Hero icon transitions, inline collapsible search, inline edit on the detail page, source favicon badges, and auto-hiding action bars.

โ”โ” ๐Ÿ”„ BRING YOUR DATA FROM OBTAINIUM โ”โ” In Obtainium, export your app list to a .json file (Import/Export โ†’ Export). In ObtainX, open the Backup tab and Import it โ€” your tracked apps populate instantly.

โ”โ” ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ FREE & OPEN SOURCE โ”โ” Free and open-source software (GPLv3). Runs entirely on-device โ€” no accounts, no telemetry, no proprietary services.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded โ€” delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time โ€” if a package claiming to be dev.bikram.obtainx is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 2.9.3 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall ObtainX first โ€” which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version โ€” and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of ObtainX, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
