APKUpdater is a free, open source Android app that checks for updates to the apps already installed on your phone. Most Android users rely on a single app store like Google Play to get updates, but many apps are distributed through other channels or are not available on Google Play at all. APKUpdater solves this by checking several different sources at once: APKMirror, Aptoide, F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, APKPure, GitLab, and GitHub, plus Google Play itself. When an update is found, the app can notify you and, depending on the source, install the update directly without you having to open a browser and find the file yourself. On Android 12 and above it can even install updates without any manual confirmation step, and on rooted devices it can install updates silently in the background. The app runs scheduled background checks so you do not need to open it manually to stay current. The interface uses Material Design 3 and supports dark, light, and system themes. On Android 12 and newer it also supports Material You, which adapts the color scheme to your wallpaper. Beyond finding updates for apps you already have, APKUpdater can also search the same sources to discover and install new apps. The app works on Android 5 through Android 14 and also runs on Android TV. It has been translated into more than 18 languages, with each translation credited to an individual contributor in the README. There are no ads and no tracking of any kind. APKUpdater is released under the GNU General Public License v3, meaning the source code is freely available and any modifications must also be shared openly. Stable builds are available to download directly from the GitHub releases page.
