OSS Tracker RE

A lightweight Android app that monitors GitHub, GitLab, and F‑Droid repositories for the latest APK releases, downloads them in the background, and lets you install them with a single tap. No browser, no file manager — everything happens right inside the app.

✨ Features

🎨 Liquid glass design

A modern frosted‑glass aesthetic with smooth blur, transparency, and refined depth gives the whole interface a clean, premium feel.

🎨 Custom background gradients

Choose from 16 pastel gradient palettes in Settings to personalize the app's background. The palette is saved automatically and applies instantly.

📦 Fast download engine

APKs are fetched by a dedicated foreground service. Real‑time progress is displayed (file name, percentage, and a progress bar). You can pause, resume, or cancel downloads whenever you want.

⚡ One‑tap install — or download only

When a download completes, a "Tap to install" button appears inside the repository card. Prefer to install manually? Switch to Download Only mode in Settings — APKs land straight in your device's Downloads folder.

🔑 Bring your own token

GitHub limits anonymous API requests to 60 per hour. Go to Settings → API Configuration, paste your Personal Access Token, and the limit jumps to 5,000/hour. The token is stored only on your device and never leaves it.

🔔 Auto update check

The app periodically checks all tracked repositories for new stable releases and notifies you when one is found. Enabled by default (every 24 hours), with a simple on/off toggle in Settings.

↩️ Pull‑to‑refresh

Pull down on the Apps screen to refresh all tracked repositories at once. A status indicator shows when the check is in progress.

🏷️ Stable & Pre‑release separated

Each repository shows its latest stable and pre‑release versions in separate, collapsible cards, complete with release dates. Toggle pre‑release tracking on or off in Settings.

🔍 Smart filtering

Instantly search through your tracked repositories from the Apps screen. A clear button resets the filter in one tap.

🌓 Theme support

Choose between Light, Dark, or System theme via a segmented control. Your preference is saved automatically.

📂 Import / Export

Back up or migrate your list of tracked repositories as a plain text file. One tap to export, one tap to import a text file with one repository URL per line.

📋 Download history

The History tab records every download — successful or failed — with version numbers, release types (Stable / Pre‑release), detailed error reasons, and source platform badges (GitHub / GitLab / F‑Droid). Note: The History tab is hidden by default. Enable it in Settings → Developer Options to see your download records.

🛠️ Developer Options

Advanced settings (such as hiding the New or History tabs from the bottom bar, or enabling the History tab itself) are tucked away in a collapsible Developer Options section at the bottom of the Settings screen.

🔄 Reset function

One button erases all application data, restarts the app, and returns it to a factory‑fresh state.

🚀 Usage

1. Add a repository – Tap the + icon on the Apps screen, enter a GitHub, GitLab, or F‑Droid URL, and tap Test Repository. (You can re‑enable the dedicated New tab in Settings → Developer Options if you prefer.) 2. Start tracking – Tap the + icon on the preview card to add it to your list. 3. Configure your token (recommended) – Go to Settings → API Configuration and paste a GitHub Personal Access Token to avoid rate limits. 4. Download – On the Apps tab, tap Download on any asset. Progress is shown in real time — pause or resume as needed. 5. Install – After the download finishes, tap Tap to install (or find the APK in your Downloads folder if you're using Download Only mode). 6. Manage – Use the refresh icon on any card to check for new releases, or pull down on the list to refresh everything at once. Import or export your list from the Settings screen. Reorder cards with the ▲▼ arrows.
