Turtlecute33/Fonte v0.1.0

Fonte 0.1.0

on GitHub

First release of Fonte, a private and minimal app updater for Android 15 and later.

What it does

• Installs and updates apps from GitHub, GitLab (also self-hosted), Codeberg, Forgejo and Gitea, F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid.
• Picks the APK for your processor. Optional name filter and pre-releases.
• Background checks every 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours. Apps that Fonte installed update silently while you do not use them; other apps ask once through a notification.
• Imports your Obtainium export. Share a repository link from the browser to add an app.

Security and privacy

• No native code, no WebView, no dynamic code loading: made for GrapheneOS with "Restrict dynamic code loading" on.
• APK checks before install: GitHub SHA-256 digest, package name, pinned signing certificate (key rotation is followed).
• HTTPS only with system CAs. No analytics, no Google Play Services, no account, no backups.

Install

Android 15 or later. After the first start, allow Fonte to install apps.

Verify

Check the certificate with apksigner verify --print-certs Fonte-0.1.0.apk or with AppVerifier. Do not install an APK with a different certificate.
