โโ โจ UNIQUE FEATURES (not in Obtainium) โโ
- Build Verification โ cryptographic checks (F-Droid/Izzy reproducible builds and GitHub Release Attestations) flag manipulated binaries before install. ObtainXs own updates carry GitHub attestations too.
- 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.
- Bulk Import from Device โ select apps already on your phone and ObtainX finds their sources automatically โ no URL hunting.
- Dynamic Folders โ named folders, manual or rule-based (by name, author, package ID, category, or source); each keeps its own layout.
- 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.
- Configurable swipe gestures โ independent left/right actions per row: Update, Install, Pin, Edit, Delete, and more.
- Custom app icons โ set your own icon for any app, from your gallery or the web.
- Undo after delete โ swipe- and bulk-delete show a 5-second Undo snackbar.
- Verified also available on links โ each app shows other stores where it's confirmed present.
- RegEx Assist โ a built-in helper walks you through building version and APK filters โ no regex knowledge required.
- Know the update size beforehand โ see the exact download size before updating.
