About this app

ObtainX is a modern and supercharged fork of Obtainium. Re-engineered with a stunning Material 3 Expressive UI, it delivers an ultra-smooth interface packed with power-user utilities that make managing your Android apps effortless.

✨ New Features Features that don't exist in Obtainium at all.

🗂️ Smart Organization 📥 Bulk Import from Device — Select any apps already on your phone and ObtainX automatically finds their sources on stores you choose. No URL hunting, one by one. 📦 Installer choice — A Third-Party install path lets you send APKs to any installer you trust (InstallerX, App Manager, etc.). Particularly useful when you can't grant "install unknown apps" to normal apps — for example, under Advanced Protection — but a privileged installer can still do the job. 🕐 On-Demand Only mode — Mark an app so it's hidden from the main list and only checked when you explicitly open it. Keeps your main list clean if you have apps you rarely update. 📁 Dynamic Folders — Group apps into folders manually or via automatic routing rules (by name, author, category, source etc.). 👆 Configurable swipe gestures — Left and right swipe actions are independently configurable per row. Choose from Update, Install, Pin, Edit, Delete, Open, App Info, or None. ↩️ Undo after delete — Revert accidental app removals instantly via a 5-second toast notification. 🖼️ Custom app icons — Not happy with an app's icon or a blank placeholder? Tap the icon on any app's detail page to set your own — pick from your gallery or grab one from the web. 🔍 Verified "also available on" store links — Each app detail page shows a list of other stores (beside the one you are tracking) where the app is available. Only confirmed-present stores are shown.

🚀 Advanced Update Controls ⏭️ Skip Version — Pass on a specific release you don't want without marking the app as "updated." The next release will still show up normally. 🧩 Advanced filter / RegEx Assist — A built-in helper walks you through building regex filters on any field that supports them. No regex knowledge required. Full details in the Additional options guide. 💾 Save assets - Option to save update assets (e.g. APKs) to your chosen folder, during update process itself.

🎨 Interface & Experience 🌈 Per-app color theming — Each app's detail page derives its color scheme from the app's own icon. Deep, accurate, and dark-mode safe. Toggle Match app page to icon colors in Settings. 🪄 Hero icon transition — Tapping an app row animates its icon smoothly into the detail page. Swipe back and it returns the same way. 🎫 Rich, customizable app rows — See app type, tracking source, and category tags at a glance. Choose between full text badges or minimal stacked color strips to keep your list clean and uncluttered. ✏️ Inline edit on detail page — Edit any app's metadata directly from its detail page. An unsaved-changes guard prevents accidental data loss. ⚙️ View options on Apps tab — Grouping, sort order, and other organization controls live on the Apps tab itself (instead of separate settings page) so you can tune the list and see the result immediately.

What's new

v2.10.00Sep 6, 2026
  • ✨ New Features - Restore a backup as a clean slate: ObtainX resets its tracked apps and settings, then brings back only what you pick. Apps already installed on the phone are not uninstalled. - Pick an app-icons folder so custom icons (and icons ObtainX figures out on its own) can be copied out and restored after a reinstall or a move to a new device. - Apps whose source has no icon can still show one: ObtainX can take it from a downloaded APK, or from another store listing such as APKMirror, F-Droid, APKPure, or Play. - When you manually download an app's release asset, the notification will offer Install button, which opens it the same way a file manager would.
  • 🛠 Improved Features - Forgejo is now its own source, separate from Codeberg. Public instances like Codefloe are recognized; other Forgejo hosts still work via Override source. - App ID detection from GitHub and Forgejo/Codeberg repos finds the real Android app in unusual project layouts, and no longer treats a library module as the app. - APKPure links and icons are more reliable. - Changelog pictures from Forgejo-hosted apps load from that instance, not only from Codeberg. - All tooltips are now material theme colored, not monochrome - Direct / HTML sources show the site they came from in the apps list. - Folder pickers open on the folder you are reconnecting. - HTTP requests identify as ObtainX.
  • 🐛 Bug Fixes - Backups that exclude secrets no longer include leftover GitHub/GitLab token fingerprints. - Importing a backup with secrets had a visual glitch in Settings tab. This is now fixed. - Lost access to a backup or APK-save folder is reported without wiping the saved location, so you can re-grant access to the same folder more easily. - Fixed app details page's action buttons bar hiding in tablet mode
