[Obtainium](https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/) downloads apps directly from forge/whatever without need for app
stores and theoretically I can bootstrap it by copy-pasting the txt linked
below into it, especially on devices that Google doesn't smile upon.
- [Obtainium's latest release](https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/releases/latest)
See also [2022-01-02 F-Droid Security Issues on privsec.dev](https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/),
regardless of my list containing F-Droids. Regarding that, **prefer F-Droid
Basic over F-Droid** whenever possible (if nearby features aren't required)
as it addesses some issues such as targeting higher API version and having
automatic updates on Android 12+ (disclaimer: I am stuck on Android 11).

## Importable app list
_Moved to [txt/obtainium.txt](/txt/obtainium.txt)!_
<!--
Note to self: to turn Obtainium export like this or close enough to manually
cut it:
```bash
cat obtainium-export-1693463035816.json | jq -s | \grep 'url'
```
-->
## Third party F-Droid repositories
Aren't mass-importable sadly, but using Briar as an example:
- App Source URL: https://briarproject.org/fdroid
- Override Source: F-Droid Third-Party Repo
- App ID or Name: Briar
Upon adding it will become something like the link below.
## Individually added apps
These apps must be added individually for whatever reason rather than mass imported:
- `https://appgallery.huawei.com/app/C27162`
- Huawei App Gallery. Huawei App Gallery seems require adding separately.
- `https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android`
- Element X Android, track-only as unsupported due to AAB
- [Obtainium#795: support app bundles](https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/issues/795)
- `https://briarproject.org/fdroid/repo?appId=org.briarproject.briar.android`
- Briar. Third party F-Droid repo.
- `https://fdroid.frostnerd.com?appId=com.frostnerd.smokescreen`
- Nebulo. Third party F-Droid repo.
## Other noteworthy apps:
- WhatsApp. The apk version number detection doesn't work, install manually
from their website or use another application such as Aurora Store.
- Tor Browser. Same as WhatsApp, but available through FFUpdater or F-Droid.
